So let's be clear. The Met is asking that a report into Downing Street parties should not refer to Downing Street parties because the Met thinks it might have some issues to investigate about them now, even though until this moment it's denied that. This feels like corruption.

I stress the ‘feels like’. In the context of past Met refusal to investigate which meant there was no option but set up a civil service inquiry to now suggest that the inquiry in question should not be published in full because the Met now realise there is evidence feels wrong.
By ‘feels wrong’ I mean that it looks like the Met are obstructing the process of justice we were promised in the face of their persistent and adamant refusal that they would not act. In other words, their intervention now feels like an obstruction of justice in itself.
And in that case it feels like corruption by them of a process that was only necessitated by their own refusal to investigate crime. However looked at, that appears to undermine the Met’s credibility and respect for the law, corrupting law and order in the UK as a result.
