Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing a new wave of pressure to resign after it was revealed that he and Chancellor Rishi Sunak will be fined as part of the police probe into allegations of No 10 lockdown parties.
Carrie Johnson, the Prime Minister's wife, will also be receiving a fixed-penalty notice, a spokesperson confirmed. It comes as the Metropolitan Police announced an additional 30 fines to be handed out as part of Operation Hillman which is examining breaches of Covid-19 rules at the top level of government.
A No 10 spokeswoman said: “The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer have today received notification that the Metropolitan Police intend to issue them with fixed penalty notices. We have no further details, but we will update you again when we do.”
