Boris Johnson has been fined by the police for attending a birthday party thrown for him during a Covid lockdown.

The prime minister confirmed he had paid the fixed penalty notice (FPN) for going to the hour-long gathering in the Cabinet Room on 19 June 2020.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has also been fined, while the PM’s wife, Carrie Johnson, confirmed she had paid an FPN relating to the same event.

Mr Johnson apologised but said he would not resign over the incident.

“I accept in all sincerity that people had the right to expect better,” he said in an interview, at his Chequers country retreat.”

But now I feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people.”
