Welsh secretary Simon Hart says people have 'moved on' from partygate

Welsh secretary Simon Hart has said people have "moved on" from wanting the Prime Minister to resign over lockdown parties at Downing Street. Fines are beginning to be issued by the Met Police after their investigations into parties in Downing Street and government departments during lockdown.

The Prime Minister's spokesman has repeatedly said if Boris Johnson is one of those who receives a fine, the public will be told due to the considerable public interest but it will not name all the staff who are fined. However, some names are emerging as the first fines are issued.

Asked on Sky News if the prime minister should resign if he's fined, Conservative MP Simon Hart told Sky News he thinks "the world has moved on a considerable distance". He said most of his constituents "want an apology, but they don't want a resignation".
