The UK’s public will be told if police issue fines to Prime Minister Boris Johnson for breaching CCP virus restrictions, Downing Street confirmed on Tuesday, hours after it said it was up to the police to decide whether to make the information public.

Johnson is under fresh calls for him to resign as the prime minister after an internal inquiry into a string of partying allegations, led by senior civil servant Sue Gray, found a “serious failure” to observe the high standards expected of those working at the heart of government, and criticised “failures of leadership and judgment” by parts of Number 10 and the Cabinet Office.
