Apparently but not the full version according to Laura. It’ll be a load of old bollocks, the bit we find out about anyway.

It's been delivered to Alex the twat! Hopefully covered in the contents of a litter box.

He has it, will be released generally soon.

 

It has been branded an update on the investigation by Gray though, so that presents intrigue of a sort and means that this isn't it.

 

Initial stuff flying around that update published, fixed penalties issued, full report published and then legal proceedings at anybody beyond the fixed penalties as it's been leaked that she may have found out people had been told to/done off their own back deleted emails and texts relating to it which is a criminal offence.

 

We'll see, I'm skeptical.

 

 

[Bruce Spanner]

Or perhaps not...

Operation whitewash/cover up in full swing, 

 

 

 

[Arniepie]

He is on some anti eu/red tape offensive today which should  appease the daily mail readership.

Obviously there is a valid reason why its took him  over 2 years to do this 

[YorkshireRed]

How far into his statement before he starts blathering on about completely unrelated topics?

 

My guess is around the three minute mark, once he’s got his pretend contrition out of the way.

How many migrants will have landed on british beaches by tomorrow? How many kittens is Meghan Markle currently drowning with her bare hands?

Not given a copy to his own MP’s yet or opposition parties.

Findings from the report if you can’t access the link above.

 

 

[Bruce Spanner]

Goes as far as it can with being hobbled by the Met.

 

Scathing in parts but can be brushed away.

 

Now the wait…

[TD_LFC]

Of 16 parties investigated by Sue Gray only four are not being investigated by the police and so 12 "have reached the threshold for criminal investigation" which explains why there's no real benefit in releasing the full report at this point.

 

They'll still manage to weasel their way out of it but it's more damning than I was expecting.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Seems a bit pointless publishing in its current form. It's damning, but vague.

Agreed, but my expectation was for it just to be vague so damning is a bit of a bonus.

 

The criminal thing is a bit of a red herring because it'll just result in fines for people but there's enough there for people to hold the government to task and try and force the full report to be published once the met has done it's bit.

Guess the hope is the dribbling masses will read the headline (which I presume is a reference to the amount of detail in the report rather than the conclusions that can be drawn) and that will placate them.

They’ll back him in the paper tomorrow, no doubt about it.
