Sue Gray's report into lockdown parties at Downing Street was released today. It reveals details of excessive drinking and abuse of cleaning staff at parties while the rest of the country was in lockdown. What should happen as a result of its findings?
Political and official leadership must bear responsibility for the culture at No 10At another party, in June 2020, there was "excessive alcohol consumption by some individuals. One individual was sick. There was a minor altercation between two other individuals"
Mr Reynolds later told an unnamed adviser "we seem to have got away with" the party. He has since left Downing Street, returning to his job at the Foreign Office. He said he had not seen the empty bottle-filled bins, the altercation, the vomiting. And even when he was present and raising a glass at some of the controversial events, he was merely showing ''leadership" - wishing departing staff well.
It's his own MPs who will decide the prime minister's future. The judgment they must reach is whether this version of events is credible - or credible enough - to move on from 'Partygate'.
