Boris Johnson has been fined by the Metropolitan Police over parties held in Downing Street during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Tory leader has become the first serving Prime Minister to be fined for breaking the law.
Johnson is among over 50 people who have been issued with a fixed penalty notice (FPN) for attending gatherings throughout the pandemic when the country was in lockdown.
The Met Police announced 30 additional fines earlier today in relation to Operation Hillman, which is looking into breaches of Covid-19 regulations at the top of government.
Opposition leaders, including Keir Starmer and First Minister Nicola Sturegon, are now calling for Johnson to resign after he was issued with a fine.
Sir Keir said: "Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have broken the law and repeatedly lied to the British public.
"They must both resign.
"The Conservatives are totally unfit to govern. Britain deserves better."
While, Nicola Sturgeon said: "Boris Johnson must resign. He broke the law and repeatedly lied to parliament about it.
"The basic values of integrity and decency - essential to the proper working of any parliamentary democracy - demand that he go.
"And he should take his out of touch Chancellor with him."
