Stanley mum demands 'disgraceful' Boris Johnson pay her son's £1,600 lockdown fine

A County Durham mum has called on Boris Johnson to pay back everyone who coughed up for a Covid fine as she says the Sue Gray report's revelations of late-night booze-fuelled bashes at Downing Street 'make a mockery' of lockdown rules.

Speaking after the publication of the long-awaited report, Amanda Martindale, from Stanley, branded the Prime Minister "absolutely disgraceful".

Her son Alex was handed a £1,100 fine for attending a seven-person gathering at a house in Prudhoe, Northumberland on March 20, 2021, during the third national lockdown amid Tier 4 restrictions. The penalty rose to £1,600 after Alex failed to pay.
