Episode notes

Downing Street has confirmed Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak will be fined for breaking Covid restrictions.

No10 said the Prime Minister and Chancellor were among those set to be handed fixed penalty notices over the partygate scandal.

It has led to fresh calls for the Prime Minister to resign, including from opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer.

The Evening Standard’s Political Editor Nicholas Cecil discusses what the fines mean for Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, whether he’s at risk of losing his role as prime minister, and what impact these fines may have on the Conservative party.
