The Metropolitan Police have issued fines to 24 people who attended a party at the Conservative headquarters during COVID-19 lockdowns, the force said on Friday.

The fines are related to a “jingle and mingle” event in December 2020 at the Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) for activists on behalf of Shaun Bailey’s unsuccessful effort to be London mayor.
