NEW: Commissioner of Police Cressida Dick confirms that the Met is now investigating “a number of events in Downing St and Whitehall” over the last two years.
Dick says that officers have assessed a number of other events in Downing St and concluded they do not warrant investigation.

Of those that do Dick says that the fact they are being investigated does not mean FPNs will necessarily be issued.
This is an enormous blow to Boris Johnson. This is a serving Prime Minister’s Downing St, his staff and potentially the man himself being investigated by the police. It leaves open the possibility that they conclude his Downing St broke the law at the height of lockdown.

Big week ahead. One of the central questions is whether Gray presents evidence which contradicts that which the PM has told the House. There are two interventions she might focus on. Watch the videos below to remind yourself where we are and of the logic of what the PM has said.
Part 2
The most important word at play this week, as videos make clear, is the word ‘knowingly’

Extraordinary story from Sunday Times. Fmr minister @Nus_Ghani says she lost her job and was later told by govt whip: “at the reshuffle meeting in Downing St that ‘Muslimness’ was raised as an ‘issue’” and “my Muslim women minister status’ was making colleagues uncomfortable...”
“...There were concerns that ‘I wasn’t loyal to the party as I didn’t do enough to defend the party against Islamophobia allegations.” Ghani says she felt “humiliated and powerless.”

Story says government source close to whips office “strenuously denies” the allegations.
Denial or not, this moment was (rightly) hailed in 2018 as Ms Ghani became the first British Muslim woman to speak from the dispatch box. What a denouement to that story. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

As luck would have it Bury South Labour Party has a zoom CLP meeting- am told attendance is high. Jonathan Ashworth is there, as well as someone from Labour’s regional office. Christian Wakeford is not.
Local sources tell me they’ll be talking about Wakeford from 8pm til 9. Should be a lively hour...
Am told about 70 have dialled in “usually there’s about 13...”

Serious. Tory MP William Wragg accuses govt whips and No 10 of blackmail and breaking ministerial code. Says they’ve threatened to withdraw investment from MPs’ constituencies if they support no confidence. Also threatened with negative press stories.
Mr Wragg advises his colleagues to report such incidents to both the Speaker and the Metropolitan Police.
Leaving aside serious accusations about the ministerial code politically it’s very difficult for a government which says its guiding principle is to levelling up to be accused of threatening to withdraw investment from particular constituencies to save the Prime Minister.

Wow-after what seemed like a decent PMQs David Davis essentially calls for Boris Johnson to resign, invoking Leo Amery to Chamberlain: "You have sat there too long for all the good you have done, in the name of God, go."
Full David Davis quote: "I've spent weeks and months defending the PM...but I expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the actions they take. Yesterday he did the opposite of that...You have sat there too long for all the good you have done, in the name of God, go."
PM says he's not familiar with the famous quote DD has deployed, seems surprising given the PM is a biographer of Churchill.
