At various stages during the pandemic, the government imposed legally enforceable rules - including restrictions on social gatherings - to stop Covid from spreading.

The Met Police investigation, called Operation Hillman, is examining 12 gatherings on eight dates to see if Covid regulations were broken.20 May 2020 in the Downing Street garden13 November 2020 on the departure of a special adviser.

I don't think scoring the Met Police's efforts averagely good is out of context. However, the British public deserve to know so much more than what the police had so far uncovered just like what the opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer has posited. There should be no sacred cows.

They broke the law. Criminals.

Why the picture of No 10? This is misleading. The party, for CIVIL SERVANTS NOT CONSERVATIVE PARTY STAFF, was in Whitehall.

Why haven't the names been leaked? Everything else that goes through number 10 seems to be.

Every person who gets a fine should be named and shamed. We cannot have a special rule for tories They are criminals and the public deserve to know who they are Especially if formerly a director of ‘ethics’. Appalling but not unexpected from tories

Who will be next to resign?

Get rid of the whole rotten lot of them.

Notification of prosecution......they believe you may have broken the law but not sure so they are offering the opportunity to exchange the court proceedings for a small donation, nobody's been fined

This Government has no respect whatsoever.

More £50 fines. When Joe Public was getting fined £10k that is disgusting. In the governments pocket metpoliceuk Corruption know no bounds

Name names, we pay your salary not a few members of the Conservative party.

Why issue them then?

The police were complicit - they knew it was going on and said nothing. Are they going to fine themselves?

Prove it, BBC. MetPoliceUK refused to investigate the PM & No 10's PartyGate crimes until forced by massive public pressure. Even now, what passes for the UK's police won't divulge names of those fined. Why believe the Met until they come clean on this? Who can trust them now?

Have any of the police on duty that evening been fined for letting parties go ahead?
