Downing Street party fines: Why the police won't name those caught up in Partygate

The first 20 fines for attending alleged lockdown parties in Downing Street and Whitehall will be issued, but no names will be given.

Scotland Yard says it will not reveal identities of those fined. Downing Street has said it will confirm if Prime Minister Boris Johnson is handed a fine, although the initial wave is not expected to include the Prime Minister.
