The Prime Minister’s wife, Carrie Johnson, has paid a fixed penalty notice relating to her husband’s birthday bash in the Cabinet Room of No 10 during Covid lockdown.
A spokesperson for Mrs Johnson confirmed the former director of communications for the Tories paid the fine “relating to the gathering on the afternoon of June 19 2020” and that while “she believed that she was acting in accordance with the rules at the time”, she “apologises unreservedly”.
