More than 50 additional fines have been issued by the Metropolitan Police for violations of Covid restrictions in Downing Street and other government premises.

More than 50 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued last month, including to Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie, and Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

He said, “When the thing is finished, we’ll have something to say about that.”

The Met said in a statement that the inquiry “remains active.” Additional fines are expected, but no timetable has been provided.
