A look at how the media has reacted to the release of the hotly-anticipated Sue Gray report – the probe into law breaking at Downing Street during Covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, and the prime minister’s statement on the findings.

France24 says A “humbled” Boris Johnson said he took full responsibility after a damning official report on Wednesday detailed a series of illegal alcohol-fuelled parties at the British prime minister’s Downing Street office during coronavirus lockdowns.

The Guardian says Sue Gray has issued a damning verdict on the party culture in Boris Johnson’s Downing Street, in a 37-page report that includes nine photographs and names a string of senior civil servants.

Daily Mail says Boris Johnson today insisted he takes ‘full responsibility’ for Partygate after Sue Gray gave a grim account of drunken antics at the heart of government.

The Daily Telegraph says a Downing Street chief boasted they had “got away with” partygate rulebreaking, Sue Gray’s report has revealed, as she blamed senior leaders for failing to follow Covid rules.
