Gray Matter - SEC Newgate Advocacy on your screens and radios

An ‘update’ of Sue Gray’s long-awaited report was published yesterday, with the Prime Minister making a statement to an electrified House of Commons about the 12-page document. MPs on both sides of the House criticised him as much for what the document didn’t say – much of what was originally due to be reported is now subject to a police investigation – as for what it did. Though light on detail, MPs leapt on the report’s findings that “some of the behaviour surrounding these gatherings is difficult to justify” and that there were “failures of leadership and judgement” in Number 10 and the Cabinet Office.
