TL;DR Summary
Boris Johnson, former UK Prime Minister, has been referred to the police for a potential breach of Covid lockdown rules at Chequers, the official countryside home of the sitting British prime minister, between June 2020 and May 2021. The police have received documents related to the potential breaches, and Johnson's office has called the allegations "bizarre and unacceptable."
