No more fines for partying Boris
London – Police in London yesterday have completed their probe into the “Partygate” scandal rocking Boris Johnson’s government, issuing a final wave of fines but no more for the prime minister.
The Metropolitan Police said of the fines issued for breaching Covid restrictions, 73 were to women and 53 to men but that some people received more than one fixed penalty notice.
Police were called in to investigate gatherings at Downing Street and across government departments on eight dates between May 2020 and April 2021.
Last week, the force said it had issued more than 100 fines. The exact amount of the penalties has not been confirmed.
Those fined so far include Johnson’s wife Carrie. –
