In effect, it means police have decided that Johnson and Sunak broke the rules they set for the public to follow during the pandemic.

Since then, Russia invaded Ukraine and Johnson’s personal ratings have started to recover, taking the sting out of “partygate.” Some Tories have said an international crisis is not the time for a leadership change.
