Johnson and Sunak to be fined for lockdown breaches
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set fined by police for breaching Covid-19 lockdown rules, the government said this afternoon.
Police said that they would issue at least another 30 fines for people who attended gatherings in Mr Johnson's offices and residence in breach of strict coronavirus lockdown rules, taking the total to more than 50.
Minister for Finance Rishi Sunak is also set to receive a fine, as is Mr Johnson's wife Carrie.
"The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer have today received notification that the Metropolitan police intend to issue them with fixed penalty notices," a government statement said.
