LBC presenter Nick Ferrari sparked outrage from This Morning viewers on Wednesday as he made a 'prosecco' comment about nurses during lockdown. He was speaking on the latest revelations in the Downing Street party investigation, after it emerged Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak were to be issued with Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN).
Both the Prime Minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have been hit with criminal sanctions. They were issued with the FPNs for attending a gathering in the Cabinet Room to mark the Prime Minister’s 56th birthday on June 19, 2020. The pair apologised on Tuesday and confirmed they had paid the fines imposed by the Metropolitan Police. But they resisted calls for their resignations – insisting they were keen to now get on with the job.
