The Metropolitan Police of London has been criticised for pausing updates on penalty notices over breaches of COVID-19 lockdown rules inside Downing Street and other UK government departments in the run-up to the May local elections.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife Carrie, and Chancellor Rishi Sunak were issued “fixed penalty notices” by the Metropolitan Police last week for attending a birthday gathering for the prime minister at No. 10 Downing Street in June 2020, in violation of lockdown restrictions during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
