My understanding from listening to a lawyer a couple of days ago is that once she finds that something illegal has occurred, then she is obligated to step aside in case her investigations prejudices a possible future police investigation. Pretty obvious to everyone that a least one party occurred and this was illegal. Also my understanding is that Johnson has the final say on the final wording and timing of her inquiry. To my mind, accepting such a task alone loses her some credibility. I accept you may think otherwise?
I see where you are coming from and tbh, I don't know her from Adam or exactly what her remit is. Listening to MPs yesterday and today they, to a man agree she is highly respected and will not be pressured from above, she will call a spade, a spade.

I would have thought though that until her final report is released, the Met will simply use her findings as further evidence.

I don't except though that Boris will have a proof read before release .
 
Discrediting all politicians is one of the stepping stones to authoritarianism. Do you really think that every single one of them lies, if you do you are in fact attacking the parliamentary system, you are attacking every person who votes in good faith, you are attacking democracy itself.
But everybody’s doing it!

She won’t be calling anyone anything. Likely, she will just report that a party took place and Johnson was there. Which we already know. She‘s a permanent sec., so she isn’t ‘independent’ either.

The point of this internal inquiry is to buy time and run the news cycle down. It also gives Tory MPs something to hide behind.

The public has made their own minds on this anyway. Having a BYOB works bash at the same time calling for people to avoid socialising after work kind of pisses people off. It’s never the deaths, or incompetence, or the corruption in funnelling public funds to your mates to make PPE, it‘s always the small things that get them in the end. And by small, I mean taking people for mugs.

Something pretty suspect and obvious about MPs parroting the line that she is highly respected without grace or favour blah blah. Not preempting any outcome but if it’s one favourable to the lying **** they can all remind us how thorough but fair she is
