What "independent" inquiry do you have in mind?
Is it one ordered by a Conservative politician?
Does it follow any established process?
Who are the members of this inquiry?
Why is the normal Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) report not sufficient?
"Robert Peston reported that Gray suspended cooperation with the Cabinet Office investigation because she found out it was already using information – on dates of her meetings with Starmer, for example – that she had supplied to Acoba via the Cabinet Office.
“She viewed this, understandably, as a breach of process and confidentiality,” he tweeted. “Gray’s views were … relayed to the Cabinet Secretary, Simon Case, who agreed with her. Which is why it was impossible for Dowden to publish a report [yesterday] on whether she breached the civil service code, in spite of weekend briefings that publication was imminent.”

The issue is that Civil servants must report these meetings, to prevent such allegations. Did she? It would seem the answer was no.

Has she denied it? Perhaps she might have testified of her innocence when given the chance instead of “no comment”.
So far we know that at least one conflict of interest went unreported. That is not the behaviour of a person of the highest integrity

You’re the one alleging something is false. It’s for you to prove it. If only naughty Sue had chosen to cooperate and clear her name.
No, you're the one making an allegation.
You have not shown it to be true. It can be dismissed as nonsense.

If you say something is false and/or not true, you surely need evidence? @JohnD offers none. So his comments that my statement is false can be [by his own standard] dismissed as nonsense.
Squeaky clean Starmer said himself that Integral Sue would lay out when she started talks with labour to lay everyone's mind at rest. She is after all required to clear all conversations with the opposition, which she clearly hasn't done. We seem to have a reversal of Starmer's commitment given that Sue Gray is refusing to co-operate. When your lawyer tells you to say "no comment", in a police interview it's because they want plod to prove their case. In this case there was a commitment to come clean. Either she states on record or the Labour Party does. I can imagine the cries from the lefties had Bojo and his team opted for "no comment" during Gray's inquiry.
Someone needs to set the record straight or accept people will form their own conclusions, as do magistrates and Jurors when guilty perps go "No comment".

If you make an allegation, you need evidence.
What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
This is your allegation.
Where is your evidence?
