Reaction floods in to Daily Mail’s unhinged front page

The paper that devoted endless pages to 'beergate' and backed Liz Truss's budget now want you to believe the Partygate probe was a stitch-up.

The Daily Mail has dubbed the Partygate probe a “Labour plot” after Sue Gray was appointed as Sir Keir Starmer’s chief of staff.

The right-wing rag quoted top Tory MPs in its front-page splash, suggesting the move is proof that the inquiry was a Labour “stitch-up”.

Gray took on the civil service investigation into allegations of coronavirus rule-breaking at No 10 in December 2021, going from an influential but little-known arbiter of conduct in Government to a household name seen as holding Johnson’s fate in her hands.

Her report contributed to the prime minister’s downfall, although separate Met Police inquiries and scandals concerning the MPs Owen Paterson and Chris Pincher undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Reacting to the news the Daily Mail suggested Gray’s report could have been a “Labour plot”.

Needless to say, not everyone was convinced.

It is theoretically possible I suppose that Keir Starmer is that much of a fiendish genius – a politician Moriarty – but somehow I doubt it pic.twitter.com/CEHSi4mnuC

FFS! Not unless a “Starmer Industries” microchip had been secretly implanted in Boris Johnson’s brain! Johnson signed off the inquiry before it was released to the public. Not even a nice try. https://t.co/3Ki55W94W6 pic.twitter.com/aEvAHY0irH

…What an absurd take. There is nobody in the country with half a brain cell who believes this. By focusing on this rather than the legitimate conflict of interest questions, they help Labour.

Is this proof the Daily Mail is just a Conservative lie dispenser? Yes it is.

No, it isn’t.

But the good news is that everything Johnson redacted illegally will soon be common knowledge.

Partygate was politicians, like Boris breaking the laws that they made , Daily Fail https://t.co/LuETH0GYN3

This from the same newspaper that devoted more coverage to 'beergate', that declared Liz Truss's budget as fantastic, and demanded we stop bleating on about illegal parties. Daily Fail! https://t.co/QOjboTj5mW

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
