Boris Johnson Partygate apology: PM says 'sorry', will pay fine

Boris Johnson partygate apology: PM says 'sorry', will pay fine: He today became the first serving Prime Minister in history to be penalised for law-breaking after receiving a fixed-penalty notice (FPN) for attending a Cabinet room birthday party arranged by his wife. Mr Johnson, Carrie and Chancellor Rishi Sunak - who all attended the event - are among a tranche of 30 more FPNs notices dished out by Scotland Yard this afternoon to people who broke lockdown rules. They have been sanctioned by Operation Hillman for breaking the law at illicit events that took place while millions of ordinary Britons were showing self-sacrifice and obeying restrictive Covid rules for the good of the country. But tonight he PM, speaking from Chequers, refused to step down, and insisted he did not believe he had been breaking the rules at the time - rules that he introduced. He told broadcasters: 'The best thing I can do, having paid the fine, is concentrate on the job in hand.'
