Brits have taken to Twitter to mock the so-called Partygate fiasco and subsequent report from Sue Gray.
As the report into the allegations of several parties held at No10 and Whitehall was published, Twitter users took to the platform to share images and jokes surrounding Boris Johnson and the alleged parties.
Outspoken Labour peer Lord Andrew Adonis posted a picture of a fake document with all the content redacted in a tweet as he poked fun at the Prime Minister.
Accompanying the tweet, he said: “I’m not sure if this is the Sue Gray report or Johnson’s statement on the benefits of Brexit.”
Here are some of the best tweets ahead of the report’s publication:
Comedian Chris Addison added: “To be honest, I only really get The Sue Gray Report for the crossword and the arts section.”
A redacted version of the report into lockdown breaking parties was published after the Met Police announced an investigation into some of the events included in Ms Gray’s findings.
The report investigated numerous events held between May 10, 2020 and April 16, 2021.
In conclusion, Ms Gray noted that a number of the gatherings should not have taken place or develop “in the way that they did”.
Ms Gray also noted the increasing number of Downing Street staff and said the use of the garden at the Prime Minister’s residence had at times been inappropriate”.
She concluded: “There is significant learning to be drawn from these events which must be addressed immediately across Government. This does not need to wait for the police investigations to be concluded.”
It is uncertain if the full version of the report, which includes the requested redactions from the Met, will be published in the public domain.
Mr Johnson is set to deliver a speech in the Commons at 3.30pm and then address the Conservative parliamentary party behind closed doors in Parliament at 6.30pm.
