We can expect it's findings in 2025, just after the Russia report is released and a redo of it in about 2032.  Mark your diaries people.

As all I can see is that the PM has agreed to hold an independent inquiry in the future and not a public one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Genuine question. According to the BBC no, it will be just be an independant one which the PM has agreed to hold sometime in the future which makes a big difference. Not going into details here but look up what the difference is, not a jibe BTW. Edited July 15, 2020 by apelike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It would be political suicide if the inquiry isn't a public one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Many voters just seem to be doubling down on Boris no matter how much of a mess he makes. Its tribal now, like supporting a football team - no matter how obvious it is they are wrong supporters still support them "just because".

I think he’s still got a core of support who think but I think starmer is winning a few over.  But im not convinced we’ll get a public enquiry, or at least the report.
