Mancunians who obeyed strict Covid restrictions as parties were held in breach of them in Government have reacted with anger to the news the Prime Minister and Chancellor will be fined following a police probe. Carrie Johnson, Boris Johnson's wife, has also been told to expect a fixed-penalty notice, her spokeswoman confirmed.
It comes after the Metropolitan Police announced 30 additional fines on Tuesday in relation to Operation Hillman, which is looking into breaches of Covid-19 regulations at the top of Government. Both the PM and Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, are facing calls to resign.
The Met confirmed later that Mr Johnson was fined for his participation in a gathering in the Cabinet Room on his birthday on June 19 2020, No 10 said. It's claimed there were up to 30 people present, together with cake and picnic food.
