Partygate: Met Police confirms more than 100 fines issued over Covid breaches in Downing Street and Whitehall

Boris Johnson and the Cabinet Secretary were unscathed by the latest tranche of partygate fines issued by the Metropolitan Police, as the total climbed into triple figures.

It was announced on Thursday the force had made around a further 50 fixed penalty notice referrals as part of its investigation into possible lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street and across Whitehall.

It brought the number of fines to more than 100 – with Mr Johnson, his wife Carrie, and Chancellor Rishi Sunak hit with fixed penalty notices in April over a birthday party held for the Prime Minister in No 10’s Cabinet Room in June 2020.
