‘At least 50 more fines have been issued as a result of the police investigation into lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street and Whitehall during coronavirus restrictions.’
>In the latest update on its investigation, the Metropolitan Police said as of Thursday it has made more than 100 referrals for fixed penalty notices to the ACRO Criminal Records Office for breaches of COVID-19 regulations.
So, fairly widespread then
Shhh… Don’t tell the “bUt StArMeR hAd A bEeR” brigade.
> However, Downing Street has made clear they would make it public if further fines are received by the prime minister, the chancellor or the cabinet secretary.
Ahh yes, the current Downing Street famous for its transparancy and truth telling…
I Really hope they are going to “Doubles with each subsequent offence”
How many events did Number 10 Host again ?
May end up costing Boris’s donors more than the wallpaper.

But Starmer had “dinner” on his work itinerary and drank a beer. As we all know politicians don’t actually need to eat, so that was clearly a party or something
Presumably this would mean that 10 Downing Street has likely been the site of more lockdown fines than anywhere else in the country?
Over 100 now for the Conservative party – and less than 1 for Labour.
But yeah, they’re all the same
Ah so this is why we have a Tory MP trying to deflect attention by saying outrageous shit about people on foodbanks
With still no intent to resign from Johnson. He better hope Starmer does not follow through on his promise, otherwise any political opponent will have a major stick to beat Johnson with for years to come.
Article 16 about to burned in 5, 4, 3, 2…
£50, are you fucking serious?!, Fine should be 10000 times that for a posh Tory twat, that small a fine for someone so rich, what a pisstake, very much doubt he even realised he paid it
keir starmer should resign
If Johnson got one for attending the cake event then hes going to get one for every party he was at.
How is Boris still there???? I feel embarrassed for them now… this is not a good look
Would have been so much more effective as a punishment if it was fixed penalty community service.
So how many penny-fines are they issuing?
It’s a joke, they all should have been kicked out of office.
Even though the Prime Minister didn’t receive a fine in this round, the large number of fines does rather suggest that he had lost all control of his own office.
This govt if a fu….g shambles and they still haven’t got the decency to resign
No doubt the Daily Heil will have no coverage of this tomorrow and full front page coverage of Beergate.
“Fines”
…….
Hasn’t it already been reported that the Met haven’t sent questionnaires for any of the other events Johnson was at? So he probably isn’t even under investigation
I hope there’s a FOI request made on how many of those 100 fines have been ‘paid’ and then clawed back as an ‘expense’.
It’s crazy how despite hundreds of them breaking rules none of them died
I really wish they’d stop calling it Partygate. Partygate is humorous. “We broke the law on multiple occasions, then lied repeatedly about breaking the law.”
Does anyone really care? We all bent the rules for the most part.
With all the sanctions and an expensive war, how is Russia expected to pay these fines?
“never in the history of human conflict has so much karma come from a korma” ~ a desperate bellend in a suit with no self awareness.
I bet they will just add it on to their annual expenses and let the tax payer cover it.
Blah blah blah, we have forgotten all that now, it’s all about Kiers Beers! The press have moved on, so the muggles will too!
