Partygate: Of course Simon Case has been questioned by police – there was a party in the Cabinet Office
A suitable Case for investigation: Cabinet Secretary Simon Case.
The big question here isn’t why Cabinet Secretary Simon Case has been questioned by police about lockdown-busting Downing Street parties – it’s why anyone would think he would not be.
Case was originally chosen by Boris Johnson to investigate the events, of which 12 out of an alleged 16 are now the subjects of criminal inquiries by the Metropolitan Police.
But after it was revealed that one such party took place in his office, Case stepped down to be replaced by his colleague Sue Gray – raising the obvious question: why didn’t he refuse the job in the first place, if he was implicated?
Following on from this, we may also ask whether Johnson appointed him in the knowledge that he had attended a party himself and it was therefore in Case’s interest to whitewash the whole scandal.
It all stinks to high heaven and low hell.
Sadly, the police inquiry is unlikely to erase much of the stench of corruption from Downing Street and the Cabinet Office.
Their remit is simply to find out who attended these parties and issue penalty notices in accordance with the law that was in force at the time.
They won’t look at any corruption in the corridors of power.
But then, they never do.
