I think ACOBA have been very considered and fair.
As regards the noises off, from the Tories, this really was a proper witch hunt, unlike the one the Johnson whiners moan about. It was an appalling way to treat a public servant, who has no way of publicly defending herself.
If Sue Gray hadn't carried out the investigation into Johnson, then nobody would have cared about her becoming Labour's Chief of Staff. But the Tories, as is their wont, saw an opportunity to conflate and smear, purely for political purposes, somebody who had only been doing her job. A job which she only got landed with, because the person who should have carried it out, was one of the prime suspects in the whole partygate affair.
