Mum hit with fine over son's covid party says 'it was a cheese and wine event'

A mum was left "infuriated" after being told she has to cough up £1600 by bailiffs to cover her son's unpaid lockdown fine.

Amanda Martindale was "absolutely furious" to being landed with the charge in the wake of recent revelations about restriction-flouting parties held by PM Boris Johnson and other Conservative officials in the midst of the pandemic.

While she admits 23-year-old son Alex "did wrong", she feels that there is "one rule for politicians and another rule for the public".
