former senior civil servant sue gray has been cleared to start working for the labour party from september a six month break from when she quit as an official in march. some tories had expressed anger at the job offer. they said it undermined the impartiality of her report on lockdown gatherings in no 10, which contributed to borisjohnson�*s downfall. a uk government minister, who was accused of being part of a campaign to undermine an inquiry into borisjohnson, has resigned — and immediately launched an attack on rishi sunak. lord goldsmith accused mr sunak of being "simply uninterested" in climate issues. households across the uk will pay less for gas and electricity from this weekend — when a new energy price cap comes into effect. the price cap sets a limit on how much customers can be charged for units of energy — from tomorrow that will work out at around £2,000 foran average household over a year. but it's still almost double what prices were three years ago. you're live with bbc news. this is the context. to the us now and a day after a landmark ruling on affirmative action by coll

represented by him to the house, when he gave the impression they needed to be an investigation by sue grayreveal and when he purported to correct the record but instead continued to mislead the house and it's pretty clear. the evidence cannot be read that he was being deliberately disingenuous when he tried to reinterpret his statement to the house to avoid the plain meaning and reframe the impression that he intended to give. when he advanced on sustainable interpretations of the rules and guidance to advance the guidance that the lack of social distancing was permissible within the exceptions. when he advanced reasons tojustify exceptions. when he advanced reasons to justify the gatherings. it's pretty clear that this isn't an inadvertent or occasional slight slip. this is a pattern of behaviour. i will give way to him. i'd heard several of the speeches prior to her and i'm gratefulfor her giving way nonetheless. she made a point about the difference between being deliberate and knowing but not dwelling on that. will she comment on the sanction because it seems to me she's right that the

back when we were talking about the sue gray report, if you remember the early days of partygate, a lottters to us as the cost of living, that sort of thing. what do you think yet more internal division is having on how people view notjust the conservative party, but politics more generally? i conservative party, but politics more generally?— conservative party, but politics more generally? i think it's very aood more generally? i think it's very good question. _ more generally? i think it's very good question, and _ more generally? i think it's very good question, and there - more generally? i think it's very good question, and there will i more generally? i think it's very| good question, and there will be consternation and psychodrama particularly involving borisjohnson in the conservatives. that is something the labour party tried to seize on straightaway last night. i was struck that unlike the snp and the lib dems who were saying, good riddance to borisjohnson, labour was immediately saying this is the soap opera that the british public is so sick. this is what we have seen so muc

to decide whether he lied to parliament over lockdown breaching apartments in downing street, to sue graye first report on those breaches, and the direction of his own party's government. borisjohnson has shown himself to be a coward once more. he has not held his hands up and taken responsibility as he should do. the privileges committee are a well—respected committee that are made up of a majority of tory mps, and he is trying to trash them, saying he has done nothing wrong. he is a man who can never hold his hands up to what he has done, and i think he's an absolute disgrace. today, one government minister refused to be drawn into a row. the determination is purely for the former prime minister, and that is where that rests. our focus is on delivering for the priorities of the british people, that is the priority of this government. borisjohnson has been at the forefront of british politics for two decades — previously as mayor of london... and then the front man of the brexit campaign. in the 2019 general election, he won the tories their biggest majority for 30 years. it was a series

i'm afraid, that this is any coincidence that the sue gray, who is investigating the gatherings at number0, is now chief of staff, of the labour party, who goes on to say, left office year, there was only a handful of points behind in the polls. that gap has now massively widened. just a few years after winning the biggest majority of us half a century, the majority is now clearly at risk. he goes on to say this, our party needs to urgently recapture its sense of momentum and its belief in what this country can do. we need to show how we are making the most of brexit and we are making the most of brexit and we need set out in the next month and a progrowth and pro—investment agenda. we to cut business and personal taxes, agenda. we to cut business and personaltaxes, he agenda. we to cut business and personal taxes, he says, and not just as a pre—election gimmicks, rather than endlessly putting them up. he adds, we must not be afraid to be a properly conservative government. he says, we need to deliver on the 2019 manifesto, which was endorsed by a0 million people. we should remember that

broken the rules because there had been a police inquiry and there had been a police inquiry and the sue gray forget, he commissioned himself. at this inquiry established that not only did he know what the rules were, we know that, we'd seen him weed them out every night from downing street, we knew there had been events, multiple events in parliament, that he lied about it and failed to correct the record, and failed to correct the record, and that really matters. but that's our past prime minister. our current prime minister seems to be so weak he could not stand up to his predecessor and block or at least stop and delay his resignation honours list last friday, which happened mere minutes before boris johnson finally resigned as an mp. so that is an astonishing act of weakness. it also, that hisjudgment is so poor he allowed our money, taxpayers' money, it's a fun boris johnson's legal advice for the inquiry, that is astonishing. —— to fund his legal advice or stop was not important have the presumption of innocence before the report revealed its of innocence before the report reveale: , o

what is led to the sue gray advice... it is clear that my advice event list —— misplaced.seen there are some mps if the tory party that t. but this could have been a witchhunt under way, to take revenge on brexit and to reverse the 2016 referendum result. my removal is the necessary first step and i believe there has been a concerted attempt to bring it about. i am afraid that i no longer believe that this is any coincidence, and at green, who investigated the gatherings in at number 10, investigated the gatherings in at number10, is now investigated the gatherings in at number 10, is now the chief designate of the labour leader. i believe it is a coincidence that her supposedly impartial chief counsel turned out to be a strong labour supporter who repeatedly tweeted personal attacks on me and the government. when i left office last year, the government was only a handful of points behind in the polls, the gap has now massively widened. just a few years after winning the biggest majority in honest half a century, that majority is now clearly at risk. 0ur party needs urgent

a senior civil servant, sue gray, investigated. so, too, the police. today, another page turns.usion — devastating for mrjohnson. let's be blunt, this report concludes that he lied. it says he deliberately misled mps, he deliberately misled the committee. he breached their confidence by saying out loud what was in their report before they did and that he was complicit in a campaign of abuse and attempted intimidation of the committee. look at what else the committee had to say. it takes aim at the frequency with which he closed his mind to the truth. and it said some of mrjohnson�*s denials and explanations were so disingenuous that they were deliberate attempts to mislead. is this the end, mrjohnson? we're shouting at borisjohnson because he said no to an interview. he put out a written statement instead claiming the report is rubbish, a lie, deranged, absurd and complete tripe. have you run out of road? and, he said... you've been there and seen it with your own eyes. harriet harman is the labour mp who chaired this investigation. he claims she was prejudiced against him from
