Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak cannot continue in their jobs, grieving relatives of Covid victims have said, after it emerged they had received fixed-penalty notices for breaching the lockdown restrictions they imposed on the UK during the pandemic.

Several people who lost loved ones said they were “disgusted” with the prime minister, after Downing Street said on Tuesday he was among those penalised.
