Boris Johnson became “hysterical” during the Partygate inquiry and repeatedly referred to investigator Sue Gray as a “total psycho”, his ex-media chief has claimed.
Sue Gray, a senior civil servant at the time, was tasked with leading investigations into the Partygate scandal.
“On another occasion, she was the 'destroyer of the nation' trying to do us in. This whole thing he said is 'shot to s**t’.”He also revealed the tensions in Downing Street the night before the report was published, as he said: “In calmer times Boris joked about Sue Gray, telling people that ‘he'd be able to move on once he was acquitted of genocidal war crimes’.
“We were struggling to make any progress because he was getting more and more angry, uncharacteristically sweary and cross, the more he thought about the impact of this and what Sue Gray had done to his premiership.”
