What does Sue Gray’s Partygate report mean for Boris Johnson?

, a senior civil servant, is at the centre of the biggest story in British politics. This week the government is expected to publish her report into “Partygate”, a series of accusations against Boris Johnson, his government and officials of carousing during covid-19 lockdowns in 2020-21. The pressure on the prime minister increased on May 23rd, when photos emerged of him, drink in hand, toasting a departing aide in November 2020, while the rest of the country was banned from socialising.

The police probe into Partygate drew some of the sting from Ms Gray’s report. Asked to look only at potential criminal activity, officers gathered testimony and photographic evidence from 12 events between May 2020 and April 2021, including a notorious bring-a-bottle party in the garden of 10 Downing Street. The police eventually issued 126 fines to 83 people. Mr Johnson was fined only once, although he attended several rule-breaking parties.

The police did not name any names themselves, but that is unlikely to be the case with Ms Gray’s report. The police were concerned only to discover who broke the rules and when. But Ms Gray will establish responsibility and apportion blame.

As well as politicians, Ms Gray may pillory some of the civil servants involved in Partygate. Simon Case, the head of the civil service, may come in for particular criticism; some think he might resign. But most attention will inevitably centre on the fate of the prime minister. In January, when Partygate was first uncorked,spluttered that they would suspend judgment on Mr Johnson’s conduct until Ms Gray had reported in full. That moment is now imminent.

Let it go

WW3 and the economy is much more important than drinking 2 years ago.

Boris and his colleagues partied and broke the rules whilst our queen obeyed them whilst in mourning. What does that say about our PM

No respect for the rules HE implemented the man is not FIT to be PM

We need to get to a point where we can draw a line in the sand. We can’t keep dwelling on this.

I like the man, Boris Johnson. He's done well for his people despite constant push back from politicians. I say the rest need to back away from miss sue.
