Fixed notice penalties off the Met police - party gate - for PM & Chancellor

It’s down to what reaction Tory MP’s get in their constituencies. It’s fairly obvious that they won’t go voluntarily. If the backbenchers get a lot of flak and think Johnson will become a liability…and the local elections go badly. All bets could be off.
In the end they’re all only bothered about retaining their seats.
 
They didn't know anything, they just didn't care and believed they were untouchable.

Do as we say but not as we do.

Fair do's. But it's looking increasingly likely that what they believe is true.

At least one bonus of all this coming out is that there won't be any more lockdowns.
 
Mr Johnson is the first serving prime minister of the UK to be sanctioned for breaking the law.


Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the PM and Mr Sunak must resign.


& the Covid 19 Bereaved Families for Justice group said there was "simply no way either the prime minister or chancellor can continue".
 
It is one of those events that one can get TOO close to - when you actually step back and look at this objectively it's absolutely staggering. You have the two most senior politicians in the country breaking the law and the general consensus (and probably outcome) is that nothing will happen as a result.

Shows the flimsy nature of our constitution as well - breaking the law should result in immediate recall.

We're essentially left waiting for the next election - can't see a vote of no confidence myself and even if one was called I highly doubt there would be enough support for it to pass. He's still the Conservatives most likely chance of getting elected again, which speaks volumes for the society for the society we find ourselves "living" in.

Lets hope he holds on because if he goes the replacement can just blame everything from the last few years on Johnson and probably get away with it at elections, only way we wont see another Tory government is if Johnson leads them into 2024, and even then its a slim chance they dont win
 
The police say the notice was issued in relation to his birthday party drinks bash.
Though some journalist pointed out it doesn’t mean that only one will be issued. There could be more for other events.
