Boris Johnson has apologised to MPs for breaking lockdown restrictions.
The Prime Minister issued the statement in the House of Commons this afternoon. It was the first time Mr Johnson addressed MPs since he was fined by the Met Police for attending his own birthday party in Downing Street in June 2020.
Mr Johnson has since paid the fine and insisted he did not knowingly break the rules he had implemented to curb the spread of Covid-19. He said: "As soon as I received the notice, I acknowledged the hurt and the anger and I said people had the right to expect better from their Prime Minister and I repeat that in the house now."
