Pressure is growing on Boris Johnson to resign after it was revealed he will be issued with a fixed penalty notice fine by the Met Police. His wife Carrie Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak will also been issued with a fine.
It comes after police investigating allegations of lockdown parties held in Downing Street and Whitehall said they have now made more than 50 referrals for fines. At least 30 more fixed penalty notices will be issued by the ACRO Criminal Records Office, the Metropolitan Police said in its latest update on Operation Hillman, which is looking into breaches of Covid-19 regulations.
A No 10 spokeswoman said: “The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer have today received notification that the Metropolitan police intend to issue them with fixed penalty notices. We have no further details, but we will update you again when we do.”
