Simon Clarke hits out at claims civil servant ‘enjoying limelight a little too much’ over report into No 10 parties
A senior minister has condemned UK government briefings against the civil servant Sue Gray for “playing politics” with her imminent report into lockdown-breaching parties, while arguing it was Gray who sought a meeting with Boris Johnson to discuss the process.
Monday’s Daily Mail cited a series of anonymous government “insiders” accusing Gray, the senior official tasked with investigating the Downing Street gatherings, of “playing politics and enjoying the limelight a little too much”.
