It's Sue Gray. Is the insinuation that she left after a row over Starmer's alleged indiscretions? There was talk on X last week of there being a super injunction against the papers reporting something re Starmer but it seems to have fizzled out now.

None of that means anything to me, sorry.

For those of us who habitually block the Elongated Muskrat's open sewer of shite (NoScript FTW!), we'd be much obliged if would you mind giving us some sort of clue ta...

I get all the context and stuff now with @AuroraSaab's solution but I guess it's just not clicking with me.

So Cryptic crossword clues are puzzles:-
Former Boris favourite rues gay scandal. (3,4)
One end of the clue is a direct clue to the answer. The rest is a set of instructions as to how to solve it.
In this case the "definition" is "Former Boris favourite" - a sarcastic reference to Sue grey and her investigation of Borisgate.
scandal I think is an anagram indicator. If we scandalise "rues gay" ) i.e. mix it up - we get "Sue Grey".

Yes, I get that, but what is it supposed to mean, or was it just a convoluted way of saying Sue Gray.

Reading around the chip
Sorry Wobblers. He's written this in The Sun.
"I know some like Extinction Rebellion will lecture me on carbon capture investment. They’ll say it isn’t the right choice.
But it’s working people who come first. Without this tech, heavy industries such as cement, glass-making and chemicals will risk having to down tools.
The jobs of brickies, sparkies and engineers — the backbone of Britain — will be risked.
That means fewer new homes, fewer new roads and a slow decline to the dark ages.
To those drum-banging, finger-wagging extremists I say: I will never sacrifice Great British industry.
But this is a third way that brings industry with us on our path to Net Zero — while creating 4,000 jobs, reigniting our industrial heartlands and pumping £5billion into the economy every year once it is up and running."

I wonder why he specified Extinction Rebellion rather than Insulate Britain.
(I'm an inveterate liar. I don't wonder that at all.)

Any time someone is inventing what their opponents would say before arguing against it (a strawman or Aunt Sally), their conclusion in usually incorrect and would not survive an honest discussion.
No surprise this tactic is his best defence of funding capture con and storage.

So who's gay and why is it a scandal? Has Boris been outed as an omnicheat?
