Quote from the beeb:
Insiders believe that, while it will be "damning for the civil service", Gray will not deliver a killer blow to the PM.
A source familiar with the report believed Gray's assessment would be that there were trails of evidence to suggest he was badly advised, and not necessarily aware of what events he was stumbling into.
But if the report reveals what one senior Conservative describes as "industrial" rule-breaking at the heart of government, it will be difficult for Mr Johnson to plead ignorance.
Those who are close to the Sue Gray inquiry team believe that most of her ire will be directed at the civil service, or parts of it.
So nothing to see here, move along.
