Adam Wagner, the barrister and lockdown regulation specialist, posted a good thread last night on the fixed penalty notice process. It starts here.

The SNP also says the announcement that fines are being issued over Partygate shows that Boris Johnson gave MPs assurances that were untrue. The party has released this statement from Kirsten Oswald, its deputy leader at Westminster.

The confirmation by the Metropolitan police that the law was broken and initial fines have been issued expose Boris Johnson's remarks that no parties were held or that the rules were followed as being flatly untrue.

This damning development once again highlights the scale of rule-breaking at the heart of Boris Johnson's corrupt government.
