Boris Johnson and Sue Gray had a private meeting to discuss the Partygate report, it has been revealed tonight

It is understood the meeting happened about a month ago, before the conclusion of the Metropolitan Police's investigation into the parties but after she published her "update" on the report at the end of January.

Despite the meeting No 10 has insisted the Prime Minister wants the report to be "completely independent".PM insists he won't stop Sue Gray from naming and shaming No10 aides who broke Covid rulesPicture: Getty On Thursday the Met closed Operation Hillman, the investigation into lockdown-breaching parties in Downing Street.

It was reported yesterday that Sue Gray was in discussion with the civil service's human resources and legal teams because she was determined to name and shame key players in the Partygate scandal in her full report, which is due to be published next week. Sources quoted by the Telegraph have said it would be "difficult" for Ms Gray publish the report without naming specific people or their roles, whilst others have suggested she does not want to look like she is "trying to hide something".It was also reported yesterday that named individuals will be able to read excerpts from the report before it is published - and may be able to challenge the findings.

Not a shred of integrity or credibility between them. No need for a costly report. He was at party’s that were unlawful. The police agreed. He broke the law. The End.

So what's new? Criminals meet all the time. What's the difference?

No accountability. He just buys everyone off... Not only that...he buys them off with our money! Politics for sale is not even close to 'democracy'.

Surprise surprise

Another shxt show and another waste of public money.

Arise Dame Sue Gray. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Well he fixed the problem didn’t he .. totally wrong these are not honest people !

The cover-up is worse than the crime.

Well I bet Beth Rigby isn't happy about that as sh wasn't invited

Did they have cake?

Quelle suprise!!

Do you sense a cover up?

Was this a redaction meeting

Oh cone on -metpoliceuk are corrupt, BJ lisr, & SG has been silenced. A Banaba republic with a Queen!

How much millions is this costing the public

So he compromised the report then WHY are they not subject to exactly the same laws as everyone else?

I give up!

I litteraly have no words left 😔😡 Her face says it all really... CORRUPTION of the highest order and yet we just take it and brush it off 😡🤷🏻😡

🤦🏻‍♂️

Brown666W Did he offer her a Peerage to keep shtum?

Another white wash on the way!!!

Minuted/ recorded no doubt ! Must be declared - transparency ? Not something the PM is known for !

No wonder he sound so chipper

Independent report no way

I bet they did, and one with the Met, too, I’m sure

The Godfather as spoken to Sue Gray ,we will not have the full report

So they met a month ago….are we being stitched up ..there as to be a full released report and all the photos shown or I predict riots at the very least.

Johnson - ' Sue, I've dodged the partygate bullet again, kicked out a few menials and made a few more pay for my cock ups. Can you remove any negative comments about me? Pretty pleeeeaaassse'

Slap on the wrist for PM and Pat on the back for Dame Sue Grey in the offing me thinks?

There’s a surprise. Westminster still going down the toilet.

She's been threatened then?

Isn't it insane that we all *knew* what was going to happen, we all *know* what's happening, and they STILL think they can sweep it away? They think we're mugs. Partygate 🎼BJ'S BIG BASH: A completely fictional tale of a party that never was... 🧀 🍷

The saying comes to mind 'WHITEWASH' TORYCORRUPTION BORISJOHNSONOUT PARTYGATE

Shame. Dame?

Of course they did... jfc...

How nice and cosy. Nothing to see here.

I have my doubts about this , Sue Gray has integrity perhaps she requested the meeting to clarify aspects of factual and evidential circumstances . We just don’t know what think and that’s the trouble this this PM just can’t trust the bloke from one minute to the next :/

Like correcting your own homework.

bunter has catapulted us into fascism

Of course they did that's how a dictator operates
