Boris Johnson allies are furious after Keir Starmer hired Sue Gray – 23 favourite responses

Appointing Sue Gray is, off the top of my head, the first thing Starmer has very deliberately done which was absolutely guaranteed to provoke an avalanche of Daily Mail-infused bullshit. And that is both significant and highly encouraging. No wonder all their piss is boiling!

The outrage against the Sue Gray appointment is truly pathetic. I wonder if the real objection to her appointment is that she doesn't appear to have gone to to school with Starmer, isn't a banker and hasn't lent him any money.

The fake rage about Sue Gray & report conveniently forgets:
1. POLICE did their OWN investigation & issued 126 fines inc to Boris Johnson
2. The apologies from those fined for the parties they held
3. That Gray was appointed BY Johnson, after his 1st choice Case had his own party— nazir afzal (@nazirafzal) March 3, 2023

Advice for Tory commentators:
1. Reminding the public about #Partygate is a bad idea
2. Suggesting Sue Gray, who you appointed and insisted was beyond reproach, was biased is a really bad idea
3. Implying their should be a new investigation is a really, really bad idea— Larry the Cat (@Number10cat) March 3, 2023

some people in Downing Street are so upset by Sue Gray's move to Labour that they are threatening to make her bring her own suitcase of booze to her leaving party

Mail front page today. Mail front page after Gray report published. Can't even be absurd consistently. pic.twitter.com/gFmuDjqmrx

More angry than they were about their mates partying illegally while the rest of us couldn't even go to funerals or visit dying relatives… https://t.co/HIs5WekA9S

It’s amazing how Sue Gray managed to organise all of those Downing Street parties in breach of lockdown rules, isn’t it? https://t.co/YD17WfDa24
