So! Following the fines issued to people from No 10 we find, today, that Boris and Rishi Sunak have also been fined. Boris has admitted to paying the fine and is sorry this has ever come to that.
The opposition, of course are baying for his resignation. I don’t think he knowingly abused the rules and, as the fine is a fixed penalty notice, it does not make him a criminal. It is akin to leaving your car on a parking meter beyond the expiry time.
They say backbenchers in the Tory Party, who were calling for resignations, will now stay quiet because of the world affairs as they are (Russia vs Ukraine!) We shall see, but I think Boris is doing OK and in general is doing right for all the people in the country.
