Boris Johnson is one of the latest people to be fined by the Metropolitan Police as part of its investigation into parties held during lockdown. It comes after police investigating allegations of illegal parties held in Downing Street and Whitehall said they have now made more than 50 referrals for fines.
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.”
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has since called for the Prime Minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak to resign, who has also been issued a fixed penalty notice. Sir Keir said: “Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak have broken the law and repeatedly lied to the British public. They must both resign.
