borisjohnson in parliament. quite amazing. and then chaos. basically, what s happening is everyone is waiting for this civil servant, sue gray, tojust do her report into what actually happened with all these parties around whitehall back in the various knockdowns. who s waiting for her? conservative mps who don t like borisjohnson and want to do him in, conservative mps who used to support borisjohnson and don t any more and are waiting to see if they re going to have to do him in, the entire cabinet, who have been flooding the airwaves, saying let s wait for sue gray . and tonight, as we re recording this episode of newscast on tv and on bbc sounds as a podcast, the metropolitan police have said they will not be investigating any claims until sue gray has finished her investigation. so everyone is waiting for sue gray. everyone is carrying around a shield that says sue gray on it in response to pretty much every question.
