And of course, the @MidfieldPolitic covered it. I argued how a chain of events could happen where Johnson is deposed by accident + the likely heiress to the throne on the weekend of the actual throne in #PlatinumJubilee :

@MidfieldPolitic is finally returning this evening, including some football stuff of course
I don’t think we’ve missed much since we’ve gone away….
The #SueGrayReport is out… and it’s not very insightful.
The 12-page document has been branded “literal waffle” by @ZG1999_ — but what do you think?
gov.uk/government/publicatio…
✍️ Analysis, @LukeJames_32:
Sue Gray’s report doesn’t tell us anything new.
There is a page of ‘general findings’ — but few details on specific events.
Gray’s conclusion is like an apology including the word ‘but’. It’s weak.
It won’t be well received by the public.
