Boris Johnson has paid his fixed penalty notice and has offered a 'fulsome apology' after he was fined for attending a 'surprise birthday party' at Downing Street as the country faced tight coronavirus restrictions.
In a statement to the nation today, the PM addressed the gathering and said he 'understands the anger' people are feeling. The Prime Minister and Rishi Sunak are among those fined by the Met Police as part of its investigation into Downing Street parties held during lockdown.
A No 10 spokeswoman said earlier today: “The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer have today received notification that the Metropolitan police intend to issue them with fixed penalty notices." 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. READ MOREHow much are Covid fixed penalty notice fines?
