Sue Gray Has Been Offered The Labour Chief of Staff Job

[Tito Fuente]

I think if you asked people the reasoning behind Johnson's resignation then party gate would be very high up that list and she did author the report.

I doubt anything is untoward, but it is bad optics as several have noted, and it is pretty bad that Starmer couldn't give a straight answer on when he approached her.

Instead of focusing on the facts of what caused Boris Johnson's resignation you'd rather hypothesise on what "people" thought the reasoning was.

I don't think that this would stand up to scrutiny from you if another poster tried this tactic with you, James.

Partygate and Sue Gray's report did not lead to Boris Johnson's resignation and, again, in his own words, the SG report actually "vindicated" him.
