Nightsky posted "Johnson said that it was “concerning “ that the enquiry into whether he lied to MPs relied on evidence from Ms Gray’s findings because she will now be working for Labour."
But it did not rely on Ms Gray. Here is a quote copied and pasted from the summary of issues to be raised with Mr Johnson (https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/34228/documents/188328/default/ paragraphs 11 to 16) It is obvious that the committee considered evidence from a large number of sources, and that Johnson was informed in detail of those sources. It is disingenuous of him to claim that the report "relied on Ms Gray"^

"We have done all we can to ensure the fairness of our process.. The Committee issued a public call for evidence on 30 June 2022. On 14 July, the Committee wrote to Mr Johnson to request that he supply it with materials in the 12
categories of evidence that we have identified, insofar as such documents were in his possession. The Committee further wrote to Mr Johnson on 21 July, inviting him to
provide an initial submission in writing concerning the allegations set out in the House’s resolution of 21 April and to identify any witnesses that he believed could give relevant
evidence to the Committee. On 12 August, Mr Johnson replied to our letter of 14 July and stated that, in relation to the Committee’s request for documents held in his personal
possession, he held no relevant material. Mr Johnson has not provided us with a written submission as we invited in our letter of 21 July.
12. The Committee wrote to the Government on 14 July, in the same terms as it wrote to Mr Johnson on that date, to request relevant materials in its possession. The Government
responded to our request by providing, on 24 August, documents which were so heavily redacted as to render them devoid of any evidential value. Some material had been
redacted even though it was already in the public domain. Following further engagement between the Committee and Ministers and senior officials, which took some months,
unredacted disclosure of all relevant material was finally provided on 18 November. We have gone to great lengths to protect this information which the Government has
entrusted to Parliament.
13 This included records in the investigation by the Second
Permanent Secretary, Mr Johnson’s official diaries of appointments and visits, relevant emails between officials, and photographs of gatherings in No 10 Downing Street and the
Cabinet Office, all unredacted.
13. Receipt of that material from the Government provided the basis for the Committee to ask for written evidence from 23 witnesses on 24 January 2023, asking them to provide their evidence supported by a statement of truth which is equivalent to an oral statement under oath. The Committee has now received and considered this further written evidence.
14. On 19 January 2023, in response to a direct and specific request by the Committee for all relevant WhatsApp messages, Mr Johnson’s solicitors supplied us with 46 WhatsApp messages between Mr Johnson and five other individuals.
15. Mr Johnson’s solicitors have written to us about the Committee’s procedures.
16. We are making available to Mr Johnson, in addition to a copy of this report: all of the written statements we have received; all the documents and photographs which the Government has provided to us; and the interview notes taken during the Second Permanent Secretary’s investigation. We have made no redactions in any of this material. For the avoidance of doubt, all evidence received by the Committee will be disclosed, and the identities of all witnesses will be disclosed to Mr Johnson. Some witnesses have requested that their identities are not made known to the public at large. The Committee will consider these requests in due course"
