The public will now be told if Boris Johnson has been handed a fine for breaking coronavirus rules, Downing Street said.
The Prime Minister’s office executed a swift u-turn yesterday afternoon on its refusal not to announce if Boris Johnson is handed a fixed penalty notice over the partygate breaches of lockdown.
Having initially said it would not name anyone fined by the Met Police, Downing Street caved to pressure and said that “hypothetically” it would reveal if the Prime Minister is fined.
