Hide AdThe all-important report by senior civil servant (second permanent secretary to the Cabinet Office) Sue Gray must be seen in full, and the PM – and those Government MPs defending him – must consider its contents and decide whether the game is finally up.
The prime minister and his front bench – who have been tasked with defending the indefensible – have been talking about waiting for the results of Ms Gray’s report for weeks now.
