Is this tantamount to gagging order?

Maybe time for police to arrest Cressida Dick for obstructing police business

This can will be kicked down the road for so long that it’ll be squashed by the time anyone looks at it.

Yes, I've just heard that - they want her to hold back certain things she's found but as you say, what if they take it no further?

They could be relatively minor fixed penalty offences but that's not the issue for me, it's the fact that Johnson lies about them even happening.

I wonder if they've uncovered some serious breaches of the law?

Yes, I was listening to that this morning.

I too feel very suspicious.

I think the point being that the Met has behaved very badly over the past couple of years, and their refusal to investigate the goings on in No 10 until absolutely forced does not fill one will confidence. Now seemingly they are ensuring the report on Gray’s findings are being watered down to being worse than useless.

I suppose they feel it could jeopardise any future prosecutions.

BBC News. Met police, who said they couldn’t investigate the past (parties) have asked or told Sue Gray to limit her report on publication.

I feel very suspicious about this. What if they decide there is no case? Will we never hear what actually was discovered?

Here is the link. I hope it works.
