UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak have been fined by London police for attending rule-breaking gatherings during lockdown.
Britain’s two most powerful politicians were informed Tuesday by the Metropolitan Police about the intention to fine them. The fines will buttress the public perception that while ordinary Britons faced severe restrictions on socializing during the Covid-19 pandemic, the premier and his aides were partying in government buildings. It could also reinvigorate calls from within Johnson’s own Conservative Party to oust the premier.
