Last of the Partygate fines bring total to 126 - as police confirm Boris Johnson will not face further penalty

A further 26 fixed penalty notices have been issued by police to those in Westminster who breached lockdown rules by holding or attending parties in and around Downing Street. The new fines mean the Met Police's investigation into Covid-19 breaches has now concluded.

The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said a second fine has not been issued to Boris Johnson, adding: “The Met has confirmed that they are taking no further action with regards to the Prime Minister.”

Scotland Yard confirmed it had issued 126 fines to 53 men and 73 women - with some people getting more than one - over law-breaking parties in Downing Street and Whitehall on eight separate dates during the pandemic. Police were looking at 12 parties on these eight dates, but they have not confirmed which gatherings have resulted in fines.
