Boris Johnson Referred to Police for Alleged Covid Rule Breach at Chequers.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being investigated by police for allegedly breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules at his official country manor and Downing Street during June 2020 and May 2021. The Cabinet Office reportedly handed over Johnson’s official diary entries, showing visits by friends to the estate during the pandemic at a time when there were strict bans on visits between non-family members. The new allegations could delay the verdict in the inquiry over whether Johnson knowingly misled parliament, which lawmakers have been investigating for almost a year. Johnson has already been fined once for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules.
