The long-awaited Sue Gray report into lockdown breaches should be handed over to Downing Street next week. The Metropolitan Police finished its partygate investigation today (Thursday, May 19) with a total of 126 fines issued and there is no barrier to the report being published.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been told he faces no further action after being fined for an event on his 56th birthday. Scotland Yard said on Thursday it had issued fixed-penalty notices (FPNs) to 83 people at events in Downing Street and across Whitehall spanning eight separate days.
The Met’s acting deputy commissioner Helen Ball said it was possible people will receive fines in the next 48 hours. And she said 28 people had received between two and five fines.
