There was an uncomfortable 'red wall' for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to face on Tuesday after news of the first 20 'partygate' fines came through.
The fixed penalty notices were issued by the Metropolitan Police to people who attended lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street and Whitehall in 2020.
The force has not named the individuals facing the penalties or revealed which events they attended but Mr Johnson was among 100 people who were sent formal legal questionnaires relating to the investigation.
