Police probe into No 10 parties will result in slapped wrist ‘at worst’, chief of staff says

No wonder Boris welcomed the investigation.

Boris Johnson has signalled he is willing to speak to police investigating multiple allegations of Downing Street parties breaching coronavirus rules.

The prime minister said he welcomed Scotland Yard’s investigation and expressed hopes officers will “help to draw a line under matters” after his leadership was plunged into deeper jeopardy by the development on Tuesday.

Police chief Dame Cressida Dick said investigations will be carried out into “the most serious and flagrant type of breach” where individuals knew they were committing an offence or “ought to have known”.

She said “several other events” that appeared to have taken place in Downing Street and Whitehall had also been assessed, but they were not thought to have reached the threshold for criminal investigation.

Either way, according to the Mirror’s Pippa Crerar, anyone found guilty as part of the process is likely to walk away with nothing more than a slapped wrist.

No 10 chief of staff Dan Rosenfield reportedly told government special advisors not to worry about the outcome in a meeting.

“At worst it will be like getting a fixed penalty fine for speeding, nothing to worry about,” he said.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
