It's the '4 Stages' from Yes Minister all over again - and that joke is 36 years old!

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
His own party seem to have the worst words for him today. May and Andrew Mitchell laying into him.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
The prime minister's key message today is that we wait to read the full report, the full details of which he will not commit to publishing...

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Quite a few MPs today have mentioned criminal investigation including Starmer. Would that be an investigation into perverting the course of justice? Breaking the Covid rules is surely civil. And if criminal, it must be proved beyond reasonable doubt so needs some evidence like a Johnson email I guess?

No, I think it's criminal just with a really low consequence.

Seriously??

Clive Efford (Lab) says the PM told MPs last year he had been assured there were no parties. That led to him inadvertently misleading the house. Have they been disciplined?
Johnson says they need to wait for the outcome of the police investigation. He says Efford may or may not be right.

It is not criminal. If a person was caught breaching the Covid rules, they were issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice, that once paid, the recipient waived any criminal liability and no criminal record.
The problem now for the Police, is that there is a statute of limitations of 6 months on such breaches. So if they see any breaches now that happened over 6 months ago, the police have no legal authority to sanction as per the Coronavirus Act.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
I think it is still a criminal offence isn't it? That's why the police are the ones to issue it. It's not like a parking ticket.

Road traffic offences are a special class of criminal offence which don’t ordinarily (except at the most serious end) result in what’s commonly understood as a “criminal record”. And a parking ticket issued by a police officer or a traffic warden does sit in that category, except in places where traffic offences have been decriminalised in bye laws passed by a local council. At that point traffic regulation becomes a matter for council employees (or their agents).

It only becomes a criminal offence if you refuse to pay the fine, paying the fine waives the criminal liability aspect of it, the Crown Prosecution Service has the power to charge you with a criminal offence for breaching Coronavirus Act and drag you off to court, if the fine isn’t paid.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
Hands up who really wants to see the 300 photos?
If there isn't at least one photo of a sweaty Boris Johnson, shirt half unbuttoned with his tie around his head, I will be very disappointed...
