That's an unreasonable question to put to me. We are dealing with a specific case with no other reference point to a transgressing Labour politician.

The Gray questions only arose after it was revealed that she had been chosen as a #1 to Starmer. Furthermore:

Partygate inquiry chair Harriet Harman was in personal contact with Sue Gray in early stages of parliamentary probe. Sky News understands the veteran Labour MP - who was leading the investigation into claims Boris Johnson misled MPs - had been in direct contact with the former senior civil servant.

It is totally valid under the "seen to be so" principle to ask these questions. Plus, I think Boris is a lying toad and should leave parliament.
