Probably enough for Johnson to weasel out of?

It's as damning as it's able to be within the massive restrictions placed on it by the Met (and by the nature of the investigation) but I imagine Johnson would have a good go at weaseling out of it if there were video of him congoing through an ICU so pretty sure he'll give it a good go.

I don't know. The general findings seem quite damming

I agree. She can't go into detail but her conclusions are pretty clear, and I like how pointed she is about the extent to which her hands have been tied. And 12 parties under investigation by the Met, including one in the Downing Street flat, is pretty bloody serious.

It must be very exciting times again, the Guardian's live feed is stuffed with typos. :))

God I hope the police bit is quicker than this. We know it won’t be, obviously.

I love that Pippa Crerar is now reporting the detail of the party when Cummings left, with The Winner Takes It All reportedly being blasted out the Downing Street flat.

I am watching. I expect nothing other than slippery weaselling.

I’m watching. He really does seem to think he can do what he wants and then apologise, and everything will be ok again.

Is Johnson going to refer himself for some nice training. (Probably with wine)

Ah yes, structural issues and a new permanent secretary, that will do the trick.

As soon as he started, Joy jumped off my desk and flamboyantly used the litter tray.

I think it was Cash for Honours, 2006, which frankly was nothing compared to the business-as-usual for this shower.
