I’m not sure the Met getting involved changes much Troy, other than delaying a resolution from Sue Grays report. It may mean the organisers and even some attendees may well be prosecuted but I still doubt one will be Boris. I say that because it’s both his place of work and his home, so he’s obviously going to be there. Unless he himself actually can be proved to have organised the events, then I don’t see why the outcome would be any more damaging than the results of the Gray report.
Look, I’m not defending these actions, they’re idiots and deserve to be punished but we elect a government to run the country and however distasteful these disclosures are we have a crisis on the Ukraine border, energy costs and a damaging NI rise, all of which affect every one of us. How long does it really take for Sue Gray to deliver a verdict? Does she really have to investigate every issue. Surely take the most damaging to Boris, investigate that fully and if he’s guilty then deliver that then we can get on.
Clearly there is a concerted plan to ‘“Get Boris” by his enemies and the media. To me Labour, whilst obviously having to acknowledge Partygate have fallen into the trap of ignoring serious matters to concentrate on crucifying BoJo and I think it will backfire on them. One thing people in this country don’t like is kicking somebody when they’re down and Labours continual attacking of Boris whilst ignoring all the serious issues could be counter productive. Starmer might have been better letting others fight that fight whilst he kept attention on governmental matters. It once again convinces me that Starmer would be a failure if ever elected PM. Thankfully he won’t.
