Some of the more significant points of the article, excerpted:
> The Prime Minister was given advance notice last night of roughly what the inquiry will say about him when it is published next week.
> It’s understood he was not sent exact quotes from the report – and No10 denied he was given a “gist” of the whole document.
> But a source confirmed that as a “courtesy”, he was given a Sunday night deadline to raise any objections before the report is unveiled – likely on Tuesday or Wednesday . . .
> Sue Gray’s team wrote on Thursday night to all politicians and officials she is planning to either name directly or refer to without naming as part of a group, the Mirror understands.
> The handover [to No10] could be delayed if people referred to in the report raise last-minute objections. No10 promised to publish the report almost immediately after it is received
> The Prime Minister attended between four and six of the events that led to fines. Yet sources told the Mirror police only investigated him over two events.
> Former director of public prosecutions Lord Ken Macdonald warned “it’s very difficult for us to disentangle exactly how the police investigation has proceeded and how fair it’s been”.
> He told the BBC : “I think without the police providing an explanation for that it’s very difficult for us to understand why they came to the conclusions that they did.”
> Labour ’s Lord Blunkett branded the police announcement “murky” because it was unclear how the PM managed to avoid being fined.
> He told the BBC on Thursday: “I suspect some people had good legal advice and others didn’t have access to it.
> “I think there’s a murky back story to what has happened.
I don’t get why people think she Gray’s report will change a single thing.
The UK prime minister was found to have broken the law and fine by the police.
Broke. The. Law
Why would a civil servant naming him again change anything? Boris will cling to his seat of power until his last dying breath whilst still blaming labour for all his fuck ups.
