Johnson and Sunak “were notified today that the Metropolitan Police intend to issue them with fixed sentences,” a Downing Street spokesman said in a statement. “We do not have more details, but we will let you know again when we do,” they added. It comes shortly after police confirmed that more than 50 fines had already been issued for the so-called “partygate” investigation. Metropolitan Police had investigated 12 rallies on Downing Street and Whitehall that allegedly violated Covid rules. Johnson has so far resisted calls for resignation despite deep public outrage and constant pressure from across the political spectrum. This is breaking news. Check again for updates.
