No.10 Under Pressure As Gray Set To Name COVID Rule Breakers

UK

Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other senior figures in the British gov't could come under significant pressure in the coming days, with Cabinet Office official Sue Gray due to release her long-awaited report into COVID-19 rule breaking at Downing St. and Whitehall. The BBC reports that unlike the Metropolitan Police investigation, Gray will name senior figures from the gov't and civil service that broke the rules.

  • The fallout rule-breaking at Downing St continues to hit gov't support at a time when rising inflationary pressures are resulting in Johnson's Conservatives facing mounting calls to offer greater financial assistance to households.
  • Opinion polling in recent days has shown the Conservatives continuing to lose ground to the centre-left Labour Party.
