Boris Johnson has tonight paid a fine to the Metropolitan Police for breaking lockdown rules in 2020 and offered a "full apology" for his actions.
The embattled Prime Minister ignored calls for his resignation from both the leaders of the SNP and Labour and claimed he now felt "an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people.”
It was revealed today that Johnson paid a fixed penalty notice in relation to a breach of coronavirus rules at a gathering in the Cabinet Room on his birthday in June 2020 - a time when strict lockdown rules remained in place over indoor gatherings.
