hello, good evening, we are live here in downing street outside number ten where the big dramatic news of the day is that boris johnson and the chancellor rishi sunak are to be issued with fines for breaking lockdown rules and restrictions here in downing street. detectives have been looking into 12 events in government buildings that may have broken the rules and they have recommended if the wines since their investigation began. it comes after the sue gray inquiry spent weeks investigating alleged

6:34 pm
after 7am and i chaired eight meetings in number ten including the cabinet committee deciding covid strategy. i visited a school in hemel hempstead which took me out of downing street for over four hours. in amongst all of these engagements on the day they happen to be my birthday there was a brief gathering in the cabinet room shortly after tpm, lasting for less than ten minutes. during which people i work with kindly passed on their good wishes. —— shortly after tpm. and i have to say, nor frankness, at that time it did not occur to me that this might have been a breach of the rules. but of course the police have found otherwise and ifully rules. but of course the police have found otherwise and i fully respect the outcome of their investigation. i understand the anger that many will feel that i myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government i lead had introduced to protect the
6:35 pm
public. and i accept in all sincerity that people have the right to expect better. and now i feel an even greater sense of obligation to deliver on the priorities of the british people, strengthening our economy, creating jobs and opportunity, levelling up across the whole of the united kingdom and now of course ensuring that putin fails in ukraine and easing the burden on hard—working families caused by higher energy prices. i will take that forward, that task with due humility but with maximum determination to fulfil my duty and do what is best for the country i serve. thanks very much. this does make ou serve. thanks very much. this does make you the _ serve. thanks very much. this does make you the first _ serve. thanks very much. this does make you the first serving - serve. thanks very much. this does make you the first serving prime i make you the first serving prime ministers have been found to have broken the law. it is a serious matter. will you resign? i broken the law. it is a serious matter. will you resign? i have of

6:39 pm
that that will do the trick. secondly to make that point that look, in my life it is a bit of a blur between work, it was really busy, have all sorts of meeting. but absolutely it is clearly ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. we are in the middle ofa ukraine, ukraine. we are in the middle of a global crisis. no time, the implication, the changing leaders. . the implication, the changing leaders. ~ . ., , the implication, the changing leaders. . , ,, leaders. what about rishi sunak the chancellor, we _ leaders. what about rishi sunak the chancellor, we are _ leaders. what about rishi sunak the chancellor, we are outside - leaders. what about rishi sunak the chancellor, we are outside numberl chancellor, we are outside number 11. he has always been seen as a potential rival in a sense for the leadership or a potential successor. but now he's in the same boat, isn't he? find as well but we haven't had any reaction from him.— any reaction from him. now, and a conservative _ any reaction from him. now, and a conservative mp _ any reaction from him. now, and a conservative mp said _ any reaction from him. now, and a conservative mp said to _ any reaction from him. now, and a conservative mp said to me, - any reaction from him. now, and a conservative mp said to me, if - any reaction from him. now, and a i conservative mp said to me, if maybe rishi sunak really wanted to make a splash, he would resign. and that would put the prime minister in an extremely difficult position. if one of them resigned on principle but the other doesn't, where would that leave boris johnson. the other doesn't, where would that leave borisjohnson. absolutely so far no response. and i think that is over the next few minutes and hours thatis over the next few minutes and hours that is one of the big internal
6:40 pm

6:41 pm
let's say borisjohnson doesn't resign, conservative mps don't remove him, it will all be about that question, can someone who has clearly been damaged in the eyes of fellow conservatives, been damaged in the eyes of many members of the public, will he get it back? one thing i will add if i've got time and that is i think the mood in the conservative party is now is not the time to get rid of the leader. but one conservative mp called me and he said if this was a normal world, this is a crazy conversation we have in. he should resign. rishi sunak should resign. we live in a different time but they should. find different time but they should. and we will aet different time but they should. and we will get the verdict from some of the british people at least in local elections which quite soon. yes. elections which quite soon. yes, althou:h elections which quite soon. yes, although again _ elections which quite soon. yes, although again it _ elections which quite soon. yes, although again it will— elections which quite soon. yes, although again it will be - elections which quite soon. ye: although again it will be quite tricky to figure out what extent will people be voting about what we're seeing in the uk, which is a a huge squeeze on the cost of living as on so many other developed countries and the fall of living standards, how much will it be about
6:42 pm
that? how much would it be about partygate? how much will it be about borisjohnson? it partygate? how much will it be about boris johnson? it would partygate? how much will it be about borisjohnson? it would be difficult to untangle. conservative mps start to untangle. conservative mps start to think maybe mrjohnson is not such a vote winner. that to think maybe mrjohnson is not such a vote winner.— such a vote winner. that is rob watson that — such a vote winner. that is rob watson that our— such a vote winner. that is rob watson that our political- such a vote winner. that is rob| watson that our political editor. let's get the lace on the police investigation on this and go to new scotland yard. tim is there. the prime minister and the chancellor find? is that the end of the police investigation, tim? ida. find? is that the end of the police investigation, tim?— investigation, tim? no, it is interesting _ investigation, tim? no, it is interesting in _ investigation, tim? no, it is interesting in the _ investigation, tim? no, it is interesting in the interview. investigation, tim? no, it is . interesting in the interview with vicky young asked at the end whether the prime minister might be receiving more fines, he said he will be the first to know. so a lack of clarity as to how much further this has to run. and today we haven't had a running commentary from the metropolitan police but we have had a statement in which it said that 50 referrals for fixed penalty notices have now been issued. and that it is making every
6:43 pm
effort to process investigation at speed and it continues to assess significant amounts of investigative materials. so that is the key question. how much further has this one? how many more fines might be issued? in total the operation has been investigating 12 gatherings on eight dates. we know the prime minister was that three of those gatherings, one of the 20th of may in the downing street garden in 2020. the 19th ofjune 2020. and we now know that is the one for which he has received this fine. and another on the 13th of november 2020 to mark the departure of a special adviser. and throughout this series of events, which has been a really extraordinary time of the metropolitan police, just two days after the former head of the force stood down, many people have been saying that the force has been playing catch up to some extent. in february it said it was reviewing its initial decision not to investigate a christmas quiz on the 15th of december 2020. and the light
6:44 pm
of photograph that was then published by the daily mirror. clearly it has been on exponent of the metropolitan police, a remarkable time in westminster and the reaction to all of this is being digested as we speak. mi the reaction to all of this is being digested as we speak.— digested as we speak. all right, tim, thank _ digested as we speak. all right, tim, thank you _ digested as we speak. all right, tim, thank you very _ digested as we speak. all right, tim, thank you very much. - digested as we speak. all right, tim, thank you very much. the | digested as we speak. all right, - tim, thank you very much. the leader of the scottish conservatives who had earlier called for borisjohnson to step down over the so—called partygate to step down over the so—called pa rtygate affair to step down over the so—called partygate affair has been given his reaction to today's news that the prime minister has been fined with that fixed penalty notice for breaking covid lockdown rules. i understand why people are angry, furious and livid at what has come out today and indeed that is the feeling that many have felt since these allegations first surfaced and clear evidence came out about them. but i have also said that we are dealing with a war in ukraine at the moment. where the leadership from the uk has been welcomed, it has
6:45 pm
been hugely supported within ukraine and by the ukrainian president. it wouldn't be right to change our leadership at the time we are supporting people in a war in europe. supporting people in a war in euroe. ,, ., ~ , europe. should the prime minister resin at europe. should the prime minister resign at some _ europe. should the prime minister resign at some point? _ europe. should the prime minister resign at some point? well, - europe. should the prime minister resign at some point? well, all. resign at some point? well, all rime resign at some point? well, all prime ministers _ resign at some point? well, all prime ministers resign - resign at some point? well, all prime ministers resign at - resign at some point? well, all prime ministers resign at some point. but what i am saying is i can only deal with the situation right now. i'm being asked for my response today when these fixed penalty notices have been issued. i think it is right that everyone, and they've been a considerable number, everyone apologises who has received a fixed panty notice, to explain their actions. but now is the time for people to continue their support in our effort to stop the russians killing more innocent people in ukraine, which is why think the prime minister should continue that leadership and that responds to the atrocious war in ukraine. and, you know, i have said i understand why people are furious about that. ——
6:46 pm
everyone apologises who has received a fixed penalty notice. we are now into a0 plus days of that context. we know from this morning the us and uk are investigating potential reports of chemical weapons being used the only person who would benefit from change leadership in uk the moment would be vladimir putin. andy last thing i want is to help war criminal like putin. arnie andy last thing i want is to help war criminal like putin. we could be foraiven war criminal like putin. we could be forgiven for— war criminal like putin. we could be forgiven for looking _ war criminal like putin. we could be forgiven for looking at _ war criminal like putin. we could be forgiven for looking at this - war criminal like putin. we could be forgiven for looking at this and - forgiven for looking at this and saying you are giving them a free pass. saying you are giving them a free ass. ., saying you are giving them a free ass, ., ., �* “ saying you are giving them a free ass. ., ., �* ~ ., ,., saying you are giving them a free ass. ., ., �* ~ ., y., ., pass. no, i don't think anyone would think i'm pass. no, i don't think anyone would think i'm doing _ pass. no, i don't think anyone would think i'm doing that. _ pass. no, i don't think anyone would think i'm doing that. i'm _ pass. no, i don't think anyone would think i'm doing that. i'm saying - think i'm doing that. i'm saying that every single person, including the prime minister and the chancellor, who have received these fixed penalty notices have to apologise for that and explain their

6:49 pm

6:50 pm
unimaginable heart wrenching sacrifices and many were overcome by guilt, guilt at not seeing elderly relatives, not going to unions or weddings or even seen the birth of their own children. but the guilty men of the prime minister and the chancellor. they have dishonoured all of that sacrifice. they have dishonoured their office. this is the first time in the history of our country that the prime minister has been found to be in breach of the law. and then he lied repeatedly to the public about it. britain deserves better. they have to go. that is sir keir starmer at the labour leader speak in preston. i have been getting more opposition reaction to today's news. i've been speaking to the smp pots westminster leader ian blackford. it tell me the prime minster has to resign. it is quite remarkable because boris johnson is the first prime minister to be charged in office. and this
6:51 pm
really goes to the very foundations of our parliamentary democracy. 0ne of our parliamentary democracy. one thing is very clear, if you mislead parliament, lied to parliament, then you resign. there are no ifs, no buts. we know that this prime minister has lied to parliament. you should be offering his resignation. but think about the millions of people up and down these islands who followed the rules laid down by this government, this prime minister, and borisjohnson and rishi sunak were ignoring their own rules. there was no dignity or self—respect. we now need to see the prime minster accepting this possibility. i have written since afternoon. i'm asking that he recalled parliament on thursday. they get in touch with the speaker now to make sure that parliament can be recalled. that he comes to house come his resignation. that is then followed by the chancellor making his own statement. and in among all this we now must see the full publication of the sue
6:52 pm
gray reports. this is a stain on our public life in this prime minister no longer has the moral authority to lead this country. he should go and he should go now. the lib dem leader sir ed davey has been giving his reaction. this is a government in crisis, neglecting in crisis. and unable to lead. they are in crisis because it is a dishonest government. it is in crisis because the prime minister and the chancellor have now clearly broken the law. and we have country and frankly a world that is being neglected, particularly the cost of living crisis affecting millions of people. this government is neglecting them. that is why the liberal democrats are clear both the prime minister and the chance with the exchequer should resign immediately and frankly if they
6:53 pm
won't resign now leader of the house should recall parliament to recover vote of no confidence in this government. we will see if mp really believe that having a prime minister who breaks the law, having a chancellor of the exchequer who breaks the law, is acceptable. surely even conservative mps now can recognise the prime minister and chancellor must go. they impose these laws on the rest of us. millions of people made huge sacrifices to keep those laws, yet the prime minister in the chancellor who made the laws were broken in. this is a very serious moment for our country. we cannot have leaders who are dishonest and break the law. we have got a crisis, you mention the crisis in ukraine of course. we have a cost of living emergency millions of people and pensioners. and frankly the prime minister and
6:54 pm
