Boris Johnson referred to police over new claims he broke lockdown rules

Boris Johnson has reportedly been referred to police by the Cabinet Office over new claims he broke lockdown rules.

It is understood that entries in the former Prime Minister's diary showed friends visited his grace-and-favour house Chequers on several occasions. Concerns from the Cabinet have been passed on to the Metropolitan Police and Thames Valley Police.

It is believed Mr Johnson has been advised by lawyers that all of these events were lawful and did not break any restrictions. His team has also stressed that he has had no contact from the police.
