Met police face legal challenge over Partygate investigation

Jo Maugham, of the Good Law Project, says people want to know why laws seem to apply to them, but not to Boris Johnson

The Metropolitan police is facing a legal challenge over accusations that it failed to fully investigate Boris Johnson's presence at lawbreaking parties during Covid lockdown.

The judicial review is being brought by the Good Law Project, which has a history of challenging the government's decision-making in the courts, and Brian Paddick, a Lib Dem peer and former senior police officer.
