Even the Met Police are waiting for Sue Gray to decide if there were parties – 14 arresting reactions

If you thought email evidence and the Prime Minister standing up in the House of Commons and confirming a large lockdown gathering in the Downing Street garden would be enough for the Met to open an investigation, think again.

We look forward to hearing how the many Met officers who will have been on duty at Downing Street during the party/parties engaged with those present and encouraged them to adhere to the restrictions.

Perhaps it went like this –

Police officer: Sir, are you aware that the law forbids gatherings of greater than two people?
Boris Johnson: I’m the Prime Minister.
Police Officer: I apologise for disturbing your game of Spin the Bottle.

Tweeters weren’t impressed, as these responses show.
