Welcome back Wayne
The photo was probably deliberately released, knowing full well that it was a works event and Boris is bombproof, to let everyone hyperventilate and be slapped down before some proper dodgy photo’s come out. However, the Met must have all of these anyway…..
The real crime here is "who leaked the photo?"
Brace yourselves for it.

The Met chaired by Cressida and then House? Both with links to tories and questionable pasts. Yeah ok

The same Met to whom a Labour MP referred the parties to the Met in the first place.….

I'm sure the appointment of Bas Javid to oversee the investigation, who is the brother of Sajid David, was a pure coincidence.

Not sure you get to pick and choose who has jurisdiction over a crime, Pete.
The same Met who started out at the position that they don't investigate crimes that happened in the past.

Of course not, but we either trust the Police to do a job properly or we don’t ….

Yeah but I could refer a party to the Met, that point means nothing.
I'd like to think the investigation was carried out impartially, but we all know that is incredibly hard to do when the person in charge of the Met and ultimately overseeing it all, is employed by someone who is involved in what they are investigating.
Even more do when we know the people involved pressure and instigate secret meetings to prevent things getting out etc

The Met knew that everyone’s eyes were on this, my guess is that they would have been both ruthless and scrupulous both in their investigation and senior review.….but who knows…..

Well, they spent 5 years chasing satanists and failed to nail Dominic Cummings so they can't be all that, hey?

You see Pete, when I was in work (civil service management), I was trained as an internal investigator into internal financial fraud carried out by staff against the Department (the Benefits Agency which came within the ambit of the DSS - paying state benefits to claimants). That training covered PACE 84 and all of its attendant regulations at the time, but we were trained on a whole lot more things (that the police are not) that I will not go into here. So I KNOW how an investigation is conducted. I KNOW the whole interviewing process and gathering information process. I KNOW how to prepare a case for prosecution (preparing all the documentation that would pass ANY legal scrutiny) that would potentially lead to a successful prosecution. So don't try to school me on that particular area. If the police have seen fit to issue over 100 fines pursuant to their investigation, then the primary evidence/information is there with them. And for your information, the photograph is primary evidence; who took the photograph and why is supplementary information. Whereas the two are linked, it is the primary evidence that carries the weight, NOT who took the photograph, and why.

I'm sure house, cressida, Patel and Johnson know.
And if it was open and as scrupulous as you think, they would be able to explain why Johnson got no further fines, yet those I the room with him did instead of just saying they won't give any further comment.
