No more Partygate fines for the prime minister, says Met Police

The Metropolitan Police has closed its investigation into lawbreaking in Downing Street and Whitehall during the Covid lockdowns.

A total of 126 fines have been issued to 83 men and women - mostly officials - who attended illegal parties over the course of the pandemic. Twenty eight people were fined multiple times.

But Boris Johnson, his wife and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who were fined last month for attending the prime minister's birthday in the Cabinet Room, all learned today that they would not receive any more fines.

Why anyone would ever take the Met Police seriously is beyond me.

[julianshepherd]

They are having a laugh.
Right in our faces.

[benji.B-side]

The Met could have done more and earlier, like raiding Downing Street when the parties were happening. Johnson and his partying lot have laughed in our faces and insulted us all with their contempt.

[grahamturner]

He gets fined for the birthday Cakegate bash but not for the bring your own booze event? WTF???

[bgone]

How does that toff of a prime minister only get a 50 pound fine when the average citizen was fined so much more

Disgusting
My brother died in May 2020; we were not allowed to go see him in hospital to say goodbye, could not go to his funeral. Those pigs that made the rules for us broke it and their names are being kept secret by the Met .
Have not been able to grieve
The suffering of the people fall in them
Amen

Feeble Policing . Splitting Hairs with a proven liar .

[Boghopper]

Absolutely disgusted; this entire episode is a complete disgrace. Personally I'm going to get politically active now and join whatever party is most likely to defeat my Tory MP at the next election. My party is ABC: Anyone But Conservative.
Time for Proportional Representation, avoid ever ending up with a government this bad ever again

One fine is one too many. The fact he continued to lie afterwards makes it much worse.

The Grey report will be damning.

[lauralishes]

The Met only investigated 2 out 6 parties Bozo attended. He should've had more fines

[motorcyclerescuer]

What a good boy Boris is, he only broke his own law once. I can see why people voted him in and will keep him in.

Who got the £10, 000 fine for hosting the party?

[thedoctor]

The police have been told by the buses to shut it up I call for the police to be investigated as well

[Charmander]

So funny that the tories backing him are saying its not that bad 😂 clearly doesnt know the public concensus on the issue

[bertibear]

He knew the whole thing was a scam.This is the problem.

[BillyBobJoeSnr]

Don't allow them to confuse you with the "No further fines", yet the MET have already announced that the fines were consolidated regardless of the number of referrals....!!!

[michaelamsz]

Met : we are going to fine you and your mistress 2000quids
Boris : I will cut down your police force
Met : ok today there will be no more fines

its no 10 clowning street

[dissoci_animel]

Boris speaks: My friends, My allies and that's just the Met Police. Thank you for overlooking all I actually did, because of how close I am to you.

One Rule For The Elite Absolute Joke !!

[mokhanx]

This was a stitch up the police are covering for Boris & Kit Malthouse is definitely dealing with this !

[suzilouden]

Whitehall is awash with whitewash....⬜⚪⬜⚪⬜⚪⬜
