The Prime Minister is set to make what has a been termed a ‘full-throated apology’ to MPs today, Tuesday, April 19. Last week the Metropolitan Police fined Boris Johnson for breaching his own coronavirus laws.
Mr Johnson was slapped with the fine for attending a birthday bash thrown in his honour in the Cabinet room in June 2020, during lockdown in breach of the Covid rules. It is widely expected that he will make a statement in the Commons today. It will be his first statement to Parliament since being fined and comes as MPs return to Westminster following the Easter recess.
Over the weekend, the PM has also been accused of not only attending a leaving party for his former communications chief Lee Cain on November 13 2020, but instigating the do. Downing Street declined to comment on the claims.
