It is mildly annoying how the media simply state that there has been wrongdoing as a fact now. The FPN is an offer to accept a fine. If it is not taken up the matter has to go to court and guilt or innocence is then determined. The view of the Met is simply that.
You're the lawyer, not me, but surely the reason FPNs are a thing is because they cover things that either happen, or didn't?
If you are caught on camera doing 75mph in a 60mph zone, there isn't a question of whether the offence took place. It did. Therefore, why waste the time of a court?
Similarly, if you are photographed attending an event that was not essential for work, it took place. And was illegal. Therefore, why go to court?
Arguably, if he gets an FPN which is presumably three figures rather than five, and AIUI does not carry a criminal record, he's getting off pretty lightly compared to others who organised parties.
What this whole episode, coupled with Cummings, does show is how extraordinarily slack and complacent the cabinet and government were about following their own procedures. No wonder Covid was such an issue among them!
I'm not sure the parallel works. Recotrded speed is a question of fact, whether a gathering was reasonably necessary for work a question of opinion.
If you will explain to me the circumstances under which it is 'reasonably necessary' to serve alcohol for work purposes, or indeed to mark somebody's birthday, I will concede your point.
You work in a brewery?
Generally you wouldn't serve alcohol ina brewery. Drunk workers cause accidents.
I remember hearing of one brewery where the policy was:
Drink as much as you want for free, but if you are drunk, you get sacked.
The far right: Le Pen deserves to win because Macron is too focused on the Ukraine war. Also the far right: Boris shouldn't be replaced because he is too focused on the Ukraine war.
The Prime Minister’s wife, Carrie Johnson, has paid a fixed penalty notice relating to a gathering on the afternoon of June 19 2020, and “apologises unreservedly”, a spokesperson for Mrs Johnson has said.
This must imply intention to run with the cake-ambush defence: she was single handedly responsible for breach (as suggested, poss facetiously, by someone here this pm). Doesn't get round the lying point mind.
Boris now reported to be paying his fine without challenge.

Yes, I think there's enough evidence from a range of polls to suggest a modest but still significant revival in Labour's fortunes in Scotland. That could be very important in a couple of year's time.
Yes. it is possible that Labour have begun the long slow climb back to relevance in Scotland
But I emphasise POSSIBLE - because this depends on the SNP's eternal hegemony finally crumbling, and that has been predicted, unsuccessfully, many times, not least by me
However all things must pass, even the supremacy of Sturgeon and the SNP-in-power, even they cannot escape the fate of Nineveh and Tyre
'Hegemony' ius a fine word, but arguably not accurate for a minority government (until recently) and a fairly semi-formal coalition-lite.
Boris Johnson says that getting caught breaking the law gives him "an even greater sense of obligation" to fulfil "levelling up" and "deliver priorities.” 🤨

Edit - perhaps the more obvious answer is he should have been replaced in March 1939 when Hitler abrogated the Munich Agreement. But there wasn't an obvious successor at that stage who would have done noticeably better.
Just a hint of a feeling that this is building to an Owen Paterson moment, where you think it's outrageous but he's going to get away with it because that's what he does, and over the next 24 hours the tide turns...

The images suggest a civilian bloodbath in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv. The Ukrainian government is holding Russian troops responsible. But Ukrianian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also pointing the finger at former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He invited her to Bucha, to see for herself "what the policy of 14 years of concessions to Russia has led to."
@ronzheimer BREAKING: German President Steinmeier was planning to come to Kyiv tomorrow, but Zelensky didn't want to meet him. Background: Steinmeier's close ties to Russia in the past years and his role with Nord Stream II and the so called „Steinmeier-Formel“.
Das war ein Befehl! Der Angriff Steinmeiers war ein Befehl! Wer sind Sie, dass Sie es wagen, sich meinen Befehlen zu widersetzen? So weit ist es also gekommen!
Just catching up, to the unbelievable sight of some PBers still dancing on the head of a pin to try to argue that Boris is innocent, OK.
Credit to HYUFD who, unless I've missed it, has not once engaged in the ludicrous argument that Boris is innocent - merely that Boris should remain in post if it is politically expedient for the Tory Party for him to do so. If the most loyal Boris supporter can accept the Met's verdict..... well.
Incidentally, is there a huge panic in France that in a couple of week's time they could have a new President during a European war? I've missed it if there is.
Abraham Lincoln thought he was going to be defeated in 1864, which would have left a lame duck presidency managing the dying months of the Civil War. Not exactly ideal.
In the end, a couple of timely victories by Union forces turned the tide in his favour.
Sadly, Boris is no Lincoln Happily, we aren't actually at war

Given that 57% in 2019 did not vote tory in 2019 why would this poll indicate anything who didn't vote for them still doesn't want them in power?
61-31 with Savanta ComRes. Apparently only 52% of 2019 Conservative voters think he should stay on.
I don't doubt it and I certainly wasn't arguing he shouldnt go. I was merely pointing out the poll you posted had a figure corresponding pretty much to those that didnt vote tory in 2019 so not sure it really told us much.
Personally I think as a country....note country not politicians talking to each other we need to have a conversation on how we are governed then sack all the current elected people and start again.

I never said the Tories are fascists. I was just pointing out that having “tax and spend” policies is not itself a disqualifier from being far-right.
Boris live on Sky and confirms he has paid the fine
Very interesting. He is confident he can shut it down at this stage.
What does Sunak do now?
What happens if Johnson gets multiple fines for multiple events?
As long as one of them isn't a 10Ker for organising an event, I don't think multiple fines are any more damaging than one fine.
Doesn't it rise as you receive further FPNs ?
It does, but I'm not sure that matters. One FPN shows he either didn't understand the rules or was trying to get round them - multiple FPNs doesn't change that.
I would like to thank the Tories for delivering a Labour Government.
A labour governement getting into power is about the only thing that would make me hold my nose and vote tory, same with many others. The one thing you can guarantee with a labour government if you are working and private sector is you will be poorer at the end of it than you were at the beginning.

I have been a long critic of The Clown and really want him gone, but your post does sum up my fears about Labour.
Rather depressed tonight. I have never held the UK government as some mythical entity where decency always holds and ministers can be trusted to do the right thing - I think people do look back with rose tinted spectacles most of the time. But it does feel like a Rubicon has been crossed in terms of standards in public life and the Tory Party deserves all that is coming to them at the next election. I will be voting Labour for the first time in my life - I won’t ever be anything but a very critical elector for Starmer but at least he has a fundamental sense of what is right and wrong about him and we can’t be seen to support this sort of behaviour from the Tories.

Do we really want someone as Prime Minister who is too dumb to realise he is at a party?
Having a dumb person as PM, so long as an eye was kept on them, could theoretically work. But let's not forget he is also the kind of person who seeks to prevent those who have done wrong from being punished, only stepping back when forced to, a la Paterson.
So he's not even well meaning, he's shown willing to use his power for nefarious purposes.
Thank goodness he's had at least a few good calls, as the above is worrying about what he'd do if he thinks he can get away things - and he's about to have a clear demonstration that he can get away with a lot.
