The Sue Gray report: what happens next?

It is Tory MPs who hold Boris Johnson’s fate in their hands. The key question now is how do those Tories who said that they were waiting for the Sue Gray report react to this update. 

On the one hand, it is clearly not her report. She writes that the police investigation means that ‘it is not possible at present to provide a meaningful report setting out and analysing the extensive factual information I have been able to gather.’ On the other, this update is highly critical saying that: 

At least some of the gatherings in question represent a serious failure to observe not just the high standards expected of those working at the heart of government but also of the standards expected of the entire British population at the time… There were failures of leadership and judgment by different parts of No. 10 and the Cabinet Office at different times.

Among those MPs who were waiting for Gray, there is a mixed reaction.
