Boris Johnson defied calls to quit yesterday as he became the first British prime minister found to have broken the law in office.
Johnson admitted that “people had the right to expect better” after he and Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, were fined by the police for attending a lockdown-breaking birthday gathering in the cabinet room in No 10 on June 19, 2020.
The Times understands that Sunak was on the brink of quitting in the hours after he received notice of the fine. After more than seven hours of public silence he made an “unreserved apology” and said that he was “focused on delivering for the British people”.
Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, and other opposition figures called for both men to resign and for parliament to be recalled to debate the scandal.
However, Conservative MPs backed away from an immediate challenge to Johnson’s leadership. Several who had previously called for him to quit voiced their support for now.
The prime minister said he had not realised that he was breaking the rules by attending the event on his 56th birthday. He offered a “full apology” but said the best thing he could do was to “focus on the job at hand”.
Johnson and Sunak were handed £50 fines. Johnson’s wife, Carrie, was also fined. The three were among 30 government figures and officials who received fines yesterday for breaking pandemic restrictions. The fines issued so far number more than 50.
Johnson has repeatedly claimed that no rules were broken. Last Friday he dismissed much of the criticism surrounding the parties as “a lot of nonsense”. In a statement from Chequers he tried to defend himself by claiming the rule-breaking gathering had lasted less than ten minutes.
“I understand the anger that many will feel that I myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public, and I accept in all sincerity that people had a right to expect better,” he said. “Now I feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the British people.”
The prime minister, who has repeatedly insisted in the Commons that he had been assured no rules were broken in Downing Street, denied that he had lied to MPs, which is normally a resignation offence. “When I said that, I spoke in completely good faith,” he said.
Sunak was understood to be angry that he had been fined for attending the birthday gathering, to which he had not been invited. He was there to attend another meeting with Johnson.
Sir Roger Gale, one of the first Tory MPs to put in a letter of no confidence in Johnson, said he was “not prepared to seek to destabilise the government with a leadership election when we’re in the middle of an international crisis”.
Douglas Ross, the Scottish Conservative leader, who last month withdrew his letter of no confidence, said that it “wouldn’t be right to remove the prime minister at this time”.
However, a senior backbencher said that Johnson’s position was untenable, adding: “These are rules he wrote . . . To pretend he didn’t understand them is risible. There may be more fines, and at some point even those defending him will find it becomes indefensible.”
The Metropolitan Police have issued fines for only two or three of the 12 events under investigation and said yesterday that officers were “continuing to assess significant amounts of investigative material, from which further referrals [for fines] may be made”.
Johnson is understood to have attended or been linked to at least six of the events being assessed by police.
The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice campaign group said Johnson and Sunak were “truly shameless” and should resign. According to a YouGov poll yesterday, 57 per cent of British adults believed the pair should quit.
Starmer said: “The British public made the most unimaginable, heart-wrenching sacrifices, and many were overcome by guilt. Guilt at not seeing elderly relatives, not going to funerals or weddings, or even seeing the birth of their children. But the guilty men are the prime minister and the chancellor.”
Conservative MPs backed away from an immediate leadership challenge as cabinet ministers rallied round the prime minister.
Critics who have called for Johnson to resign said yesterday that the war in Ukraine made this the wrong time to change prime minister, but insisted a reckoning would have to come.
After hours of silence, by last night most of the cabinet had publicly backed Johnson. Sunak said in a statement just before 8pm: “Like the prime minister, I am focusing on delivering for the British people at this challenging time.”
Nadine Dorries, one of Johnson’s most loyal backers, led a belated chorus of ministerial support that included Liz Truss, now the frontrunner to succeed the prime minister.
The foreign secretary said Johnson had “my 100 per cent backing”, adding: “The prime minister has apologised and taken responsibility for what happened in Downing Street. He and the chancellor are delivering for Britain on many fronts, including on the international security crisis we face.”
The cabinet ministers Michael Gove, Sajid Javid and Dominic Raab also offered “full support” to Johnson.
Other loyal MPs tried to compare the fines to a “parking ticket” and highlighted Labour politicians who had been fined for speeding, in what appeared a prepared Tory attack.
Government sources suggested ministers were nervous about what other parties the prime minister would be fined for, and some could yet withdraw their support.
“I don’t see this as the moment — this was just ten minutes with colleagues in the middle of the afternoon,” one said.
“We know there were others late at night, and the flat one is of particular interest. Ultimately we’re asking ourselves: what else is coming?”
Baroness Davidson of Lundin Links, the former Scottish Tory leader, and the former cabinet minister Rory Stewart were among the few prominent Conservatives publicly calling for the prime minister to quit. Davidson said: “The PM introduced liberty-curtailing rules for public health reasons. This caused huge hardship for those separated from ill or dying loved ones. He then broke the rules he imposed on the country and lost the moral authority to lead. He should go.”
Stewart said: “The fine proves he has repeatedly lied to parliament about his actions during Covid. Democracy requires, for voting, for accountability, leaders who tell the truth. He must go.”
Sir Roger Gale, one of the first Tory MPs to put in a letter of no confidence in Johnson, said: “I’m not prepared to seek to destabilise the government with a leadership election when we’re in the middle of an international crisis.”
Gale said that while he thought Johnson had “effectively misled the House of Commons” and “is clearly going to have to be held to account”, now was not the time to “rock the boat” in Nato.
“I am not prepared to give Vladimir Putin the comfort of thinking that we are about to unseat the prime minister of the United Kingdom and destabilise the coalition,” he said.
“Any reaction is going to have to wait until we have dealt with the main crisis, which is Ukraine and the Donbas.”
Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice shared a letter they sent to Johnson after the news of his fine emerged. They wrote that they had obeyed the rules Johnson’s government created and that this meant they could not attend their loved ones’ funerals or hold their hands in hospitals or care homes as they died.
They continued: “You on the other hand did not. You broke those laws intended to keep us safe. You trampled on the sacrifices we and all the British public made. You have paid a fine. Our loved ones paid with their lives.”
They signed off: “For the sake of the 187,929 who have been lost to Covid, the over 1,000 still dying each week from this horrible virus, for the hundreds of thousands of us who lost loved ones and each and every person who did the right thing, go and go now.”
Jackie Green, from the group, said that Johnson was “completely untrustworthy and devoid of any integrity”.

Of course he does.
Boris Johnson is the personification of the Blackadder joke about “The Case Of The Bloody Knife”
> *I remember Massingbird’s most famous case: the Case of the Bloody Knife. A man was found next to a murdered body. He had the knife in his hand. 13 witnesses had seen him stab the victim. And when the police arrived, he said “I’m glad I killed the bastard.” Massingbird not only got him off; he got him knighted in the New Year’s Honours List. And the relatives of the victim had to pay to wash the blood out of his jacket!*
I just don’t understand how he can remain in office after breaking the law.
I mean we don’t have a precedent for this but now might be a good time to set one to protect Britain from leaders who engage in illegal activities when in office.
Maybe we need a list of what crimes are acceptable for the PM to commit and which aren’t? That would help I guess.
I remember when some people were suggesting that he shouldn’t become Prime Minister because he is a habitual and compulsive liar.
The shameless cynicism in exploiting the suffering of the Ukrainian people to save your own political career would be staggering were it not so fucking typical of the man.
Imagine being so drunk on power and being so arrogant, you *literally* think you’re above the law as prime minister. I fear there’s no turning back now. This sets such an awful precedent. This is much bigger than Boris. This sets the tone for how UK government’s are allowed to act, and it’s going to be that way for a long time.
Fifty quid fine…?
So that’ll claimed back from ‘expenses’ probably too.
bollocks
Maybe if the Met investigated him for the more serious offences of Misconduct in Public Office and Fraud by Abuse of Position that there is clear prima facie evidence he is guilty of he would actually receive a more fitting punishment. A jail term is the only sentence that would seemingly force him out.
Given that it has taken the Met months to investigate a straightforward breach of covid rules, having had the work largely done for them by Sue Gray, we have about as much chance of Johnson being prosecuted for the serious crimes he is guilty of as we have of his fellow narcissistic, sociopath Putin being prosecuted for war crimes.
The ineptitude of our police and regulatory bodies in enforcing the law against the rich and powerful is staggering.
He just does whatever the fuck he likes. Nothing surprises me anymore.
PRITI PATEL: We HAVE to stop these criminals laughing in our face
Boris could purposefully run over a group of special needs orphans on a day out and still refuse to step down.
There is literally nothing on the face of this planet that would lead to Boris resigning.
Well, he is the kind that wouldn’t want to quit after losing election either. He will only go when physically removed from office.
A pale copy and paste mini trump. A living shame. Get rid of him pdq
As for those who say we shouldnt challenge the government right now because of the ukraine crisis,
So what? During WW2, when Britain was in a direct conflict with another superpower, Even Chamberlain had the decency to resign for failing to meet his promise of “peace in our time”, a much lesser offence than Johnson violating laws that he himself passed and then lying about it to parliament.
Well looks like we’ve got to do what the French do when they’re not happy with their government
Because he lacks any true or substantial leadership qualities
To me, it’s the lies. If he’d just been honest about it from the beginning, it wouldn’t be as bad….still bad though.
It started as they weren’t any parties. Then there might have been parties but I didn’t know about them. OK I knew about them but I didn’t go. OK I did go, but I was only there for 10 minutes. OK it was actually 3 hours, but it was with wine, so it was a work meeting. OK it was a party with beer and karaoke and ran until 4am, but I didn’t think that broke the rules.
Can the cunt just fuck off?
Left trying to make this into a massive thing is very funny
He needs to be kicked out because if he’s allowed to stay where does it end? We’ll end up in a dictatorship!
The law is the law is the law! But not for me or my constitutes…
Grant Shapps got an epic roasting from Kay Burley, delivering a nauseating display of loyalty, by his own admission defending the “indefensible” [https://youtu.be/OwJCxRaguZM](https://youtu.be/OwJCxRaguZM)
This guy is absolutely devoid of principle, invoking his dead father… My question is how many other MPs will shackle themselves to Boris’ toxic corpse before the next round of partygate fines? When Boris is eventually forced out, how many will go with him?
I wonder if other Tory MPs will now revolt on him, if he isn’t out by the next election Labour will be walking all over them into office.
Because he knows all he has to do is lay low for a week or so and let the public forget about it and move onto something else
This is the inevitable conclusion of our handshake gentlemen’s agreement politics. We need a near complete overhaul of how our government is allowed to operate. Just hoping that people will be upstanding citizens is fucking moronic.
Come now, you didn’t think the man has a shred of integrity did you?
Good. If you put someone else in charge then the lockdowns come back.
Boris Johnson getting caught partying is the best thing thats happened to this country in the last 2 years.
Viva la Boris
If there’s no law forcing a convicted Prime Minister from losing his office, why would anyone expect him to be removed from his position or resign?
He won’t quit unless he is literally threatened with prison time and even then, he’ll find a way to escape it. Boris believes he is king and is very underpaid. Most of the country believes his a fucking cunt. If you are the PM and a song calling you a fucking cunt is in the top ten two years in a row. Then you are a fucking cunt.
The only way to be rid of him is to pressure the Tory back bench. They won’t challenge unless they are at risk.
My advice is create a one off email account, use it to sign up to polling organisations (YouGov etc). Set your bio on the polling sites to be that of a Tory voter, answer every poll denigrating their poor behaviour. If those numbers change enough there’s a chance that the 1922 committee may get some letters.
Other than that strap yourself in for Tories pillaging every asset for the next few decades.
An honour system does not work when the people involved are devoid of honour!
It’s so so mad how he can just refuse to quit after breaking the law and there is nothing we could do, we should be rooting in the streets demanding his head for taking absolute liberties but we are so pathetic and worn down as a populace we wont do shit.
I hate it here.
Dog shit doesn’t come off your show easy when you stand in it
Cunt. End of comment. Feel free to discuss below the philosophical impact of this comment.
A photo could get released of Putin fucking Boris in the ass at a lockdown party and Boris still wouldn’t quit.
Good.. there’s a war in Europe. People need to pull their heads out of their arses.
This is by no means a defence of Theresa May and her politics, but at least she had the decency to resign when she knew her time was up. Unlike Johnson…
Imagine what an awful week he’s had: Zelensky wouldn’t let him dress up as a little soldier, and basically ushered him out before the actual leaders turned up – then this.
He’s basically a shit stain on a mattress. Hideous, unwanted, useless, but very hard to remove.
Talk about overstaying a welcome. This man is the one person everyone just wants to fuck off but he keeps just inviting himself along to the pub with everyone. Prick.
Why would he quit? He’s great. This is a sham that they’re trying to do because he’s one
Of the very few European leaders defending the free world .
Will he refuse to resign when the next election puts someone else into number 10?
I mean that’s the M.O. of his ilk, especially in Russia and U.S.
