The government suggests Sue Gray breached rules over taking a job with Labour after leaving the civil service - as Tory MPs row about the attack line.
The scale of the rancour and emotion over Boris Johnson and the decision by top official Sue Gray to work for Labour was on display today in a WhatsApp exchange obtained by Sky News.
Tim Loughton, the backbench MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, came partially to Jackie Doyle-Price's defence, arguing that criticism should be focused on Starmer rather than Sue Gray to avoid"refocussing public attention on partygate". Mr Johnson, who ordered the civil servant's investigation, went on to receive one of the 126 fines issued by the Metropolitan Police during its own probe.
Jeremy Quinn, a government minister, cast doubt on whether the partygate investigator followed the proper process of notifying officials about her planned job move - and suggested her new appointment could be blocked.
