receiving any more fines yet.. in the scheme of things, not cheaply significant i have to say. there have been reports in the last 2a hours or so that some fixed penalty notices have been issued to people in 10 downing street garden and started by being invited to socially distanced drinks as they were described in an e mailfrom a senior civil servant and people were told to bring your own booze. the prime minister was there and has apologised in parliament saying at the time he thought it was a work event and he should have in hindsight found another way to thank people for the hard work and told everyone to go inside but up until now, at least, he is not one of those who have received a fixed penalty notice. that is not to say he won t in due course for that or other events but it is tricky to establish how the police investigation is taking its course because the met police have said they won t issue any further confirmation of major developments in the investigation until after the
to borisjohnson. we know he was at this event, too. it was a party in the garden. we know it because an email was sent out from his principal private secretary inviting 100 people. about 30 turned up, including borisjohnson and his wife. there was drinks laid out in the garden. then the news came out he had to go to parliament and say that he thought that this was a work event and he only spent 25 minutes there. now, it appears we re hearing that there may have been one, perhaps more fines issued for this event. downing street say nothing issued to the prime minister, but these things come out very slowly because it s only up to individuals to come forward. downing street say they will tell us. everyone else doesn t have to come forward and so we wait to see. well, presumably downing street would have been hoping that news of a potential trade deal with india might have distracted from reports around lockdown parties. has that worked at all?

the prime minister has not had a fine in relation to that. we don t know if he will in the future. what we do know is that he admitted to the house of commons that he was at that event and he was there for 25 minutes, and the rules at the time said you could only be outside your home for an essential work reason and he said he thought it was a work event, but we will wait to see. the issue this week, is the woes this is bringing him and he tried in parliament to get his mps to vote to delay parliament deciding to hold its own inquiry. it seems many of them were not happy about being forced to go on the record and do that, so he backed down and that inquiry is now going ahead. this all leaves uncertainty for him and uncertainty, too, about how solid the backing is amongst his own mps. and in boxing, tyson fury has retained his world heavyweight titles in his all british battle against dillian whyte. the two men took to the ring
