Boris Johnson has been accused of presiding over Covid lockdown breaches on a “record-breaking scale” after the Metropolitan police said it had issued 100 fixed-penalty notices as part of its Partygate investigation.
The force previously said it had issued more than 50 fines, a figure updated on Thursday to more than 100. This was the first public information since updates on the investigation’s progress were paused ahead of last week’s local elections.
