What’s next for Boris Johnson and the Partygate scandal? (PA)
(Picture: PA Media)There are fresh calls for the Prime Minister to resign, after Downing Street confirmed Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak will be fined for breaking covid restrictions.
They’ve been named among those being handed fixed penalty notices by the Met Police over the partygate scandal.
It’s led to calls from opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer and others for the PM to leave his position.
The Met has now issued more than 50 fines over lockdown busting events across Government in 2020 and 2021.
The Evening Standard’s Political editor Nicholas Cecil discusses what his unprecedented fine means for Boris Johnson, and how this latest twist in the partygate scandal might affect the Conservative Party?
