once that passes, it is up to sue gray and her team to publish the report. but we are expecting it beofre the end of next week. depending on what is in the report, what are the likely consequences, the outcomes of sue gray's report? it depends on what is in it as you suggest. we know from her draft findings that she has identified failures of leadership and judgment in downing street and the events that happened should not have been allowed to happen in the way that they did and to the extent that they did. as she put it in her draft findings that was published injanuary. we have had since then the met police investigation which has issued dozens and dozens of fines, and only one for the prime minister himself, and that has taken some of the heat out of what sue gray will publish in her report. but there will be detail in there and it will be uncomfortable reading at the very least for boris johnson and others in government. how damning it is? we willjust have to see what it comes out west but there is political pressure on borisjohnson, is it there with the

gray and, of course, borisjohnson is one of the primary people who sue gray will be investigating. of course, he's in charge of number 10 and at the top of the organisation in government, under which these events were happening during the pandemic. that's why there is huge sensitivity around this meeting and why we've seen this slightly different version of events emerging. neither side disputes that it happened or that the substance of her report was not discussed. but it's about the process being done properly and other parties, labour and other parties at westminster will be positioning themselves around this. it's already controversial and now this detail adds concern. opposition parties have seized on this meeting, suggesting it has happened in secret and that the prime minister needs to urgently explain why it has happened because labour particularly are suggesting that it could undermine public confidence in the process. the liberal democrats are saying any whiff of a stitch—up would be disastrous for the independence and authority of the findings of sue gray's report. she

what sue gray will do is draw on some of that evidence for her report, for the explanation on the report of events that took place, but we will not see all of the evidence being put into the public domain. it has been interesting that both downing street and those close to sue gray disagree of the circumstances of the meeting in the first place. downing street were very keen to emphasise it was not done at the prime minister's best, but they suggested that sue gray had initiated a meeting. those close to her said, no, this came from a suggestion by number 10 officials. downing street have now modified a position to make it very clear that the prime minister himself certainly hadn't called for this, but not denying that someone in number 10 suggested it was a good idea that the meeting took place. nonetheless, both sides to agree that he was not shown the content of the report, and still has not seen it. , , , , ~" , it. just remind us very quickly, when will _ it. just remind us very quickly, when will the _ it. just remind us very quickly, when will the report _ it. just remind us very
