A senior minister has warned the Prime Minister "is in real trouble here" following the publication of the Sue Gray report into the 'partygate' scandal.
The former Conservative party leader and Cabinet minister, Lord Hague of Richmond, argued that the report has left a sour taste in the mouths of many in the Conservative Party. It comes after Sir Bob Neill, Conservative chairman of the Justice Select Committee, said he was surprised that "some senior civil servants in Downing Steer are still in post after what was found."
Sir Neill told Times Radio: "Now I’m surprised frankly that some senior civil servants in Downing Street are still in post after what was found, but ultimately the political leadership, I’m afraid, stops with the Prime Minister and the accountability to the public stops with the Prime Minister.”
