Who arranged the meeting? That’s the question everyone in Westminster wants to know, regarding the hitherto unknown catch-up between the Prime Minister and Sue Gray. Ministers say it was the senior civil servant. But other reports suggest that, while Gray sent the calendar invite, it was at Boris Johnson’s behest.
These may seem like inconsequential details. We already know from the Metropolitan Police that lockdown regulations were broken more than 100 times and from Gray’s interim report that the culture and leadership in Downing Street has come in for stinging criticism.
