The prime minister said on Tuesday that he accepted the fine and he understood public anger over the issue, but he had not believed he was in breach of the law at the time. However, the pressure abated with the outbreak of war in Ukraine in which he has sought to play a leading role in the West’s response.
He later apologised to parliament for attending one event, which he said he thought was work-related. The Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK group said it was “still unbelievably painful” that the prime minister had broken his own rules when they were unable to be with loved ones as they died. Johnson’s fine is thought to be a unique for a British leader in 300 years. “As far as we are aware there is no precedent for a prime minister being found to have broken the law,” said the House of Commons Library, a research service based at parliament.
