The report of the independent investigation entrusted to British official Sue Gray into the so-called Partygate scandal threatening Boris Johnson will be published in full as soon as the government receives it.
The Tory Prime Minister reiterated this today to reporters, on the sidelines of a visit to North Wales, responding with a "yes" to a question on the subject, but remaining buttoned on the times.
Asked if the delay with respect to expectations for a publication by today was up to him, Johnson replied: "Absolutely not, it's an independent investigation, let's let it take its course." Meanwhile, he insisted, "the government goes ahead with the work", both in terms of easing Covid restrictions and "helping people to cope with the crisis of rising cost of living, inflation, and ensuring that can go back to work after the benefits. "
Warnings not to postpone the report were also relaunched by the opposition as much by the Scottish first minister and leader of the SNP separatists, Nicola Sturgeon, convinced that on the alleged parties held in Downing Street during the lockdown era, BoJo "lied to Parliament" , as well as from Labor No. 1, Keir Starmer. Who repeated that the text should be published "as soon as possible" and "in full: uncensored, uncut, with no part excluded" since the British "have the right to know the truth after the sacrifices they endured during the pandemic" and to know "all facts established" by Gray.
