Boris Johnson is facing deepening peril over the Partygate scandal after a source said a fine had been issued for a second event attended by the prime minister, while senior Conservatives warned he could face a leadership challenge within weeks.
On Friday evening, No 10 was forced to deny Johnson had received another fixed penalty notice (FPN) for a “bring your own booze” Downing Street garden party on 20 May 2020.
In January, Johnson admitted attending the event – held during the first national lockdown when indoor and outdoor social mixing were banned – for around 25 minutes but claimed he “believed implicitly that this was a work event”.Johnson’s principal private secretary, Martin Reynolds, is said to have invited up to 100 people to the the “socially distanced” evening drinks.
A source told the Guardian that at least one FPN was issued on Friday to a Downing Street official who attended the event. As Johnson finished a two-day trade trip to India on Friday, a spokesman said he had not received a new fine.
