A person claiming to be a Conservative Party member has said that Joe Lycett’s joke version of Sue Gray’s report was “read as an actual serious leak”.
The comedian posted a joke version of the senior civil servant’s report into her findings about the Downing Street parties that allegedly occurred during Covid-19 lockdown.
On Instagram, Lycett shared a message he received from someone he said is a “verified” employee of a Conservative cabinet minister.
The UK is awaiting the the publishing of the findings, which were approved by the police on Tuesday (25 January).
