Boris Johnson faces a further "partygate" police fine after giving a speech at a Downing Street leaving party for a long-standing aide, The Telegraph can disclose.

The Prime Minister is facing another punishment after attending and giving a speech at the party for Lee Cain, his outgoing director of communications, on Nov 13, 2020, according to sources close to the investigation.

Alcohol was consumed by some at the event, but it is not known whether Mr Johnson had a drink.

However it is understood that he remained at the gathering for some time, making it more difficult for him to argue that it was a work event and he had a "reasonable excuse" for being there.

A report by the former Whitehall ethics chief Sue Gray will be critical of Mr Johnson's attendance at the event, increasing the likelihood that he will receive another fixed penalty notice.

A source close to the "partygate" investigation said the June 2020 birthday party event over which Mr Johnson was fined £50, and which he attended for less than 10 minutes, is far less serious than the leaving party for Mr Cain.

The source said: "The event that took place on Nov 13, 2020, to mark the departure of Lee Cain is considered to be the most serious breach of the coronavirus regulations among the events that the Prime Minister attended.

"Given that he has already received a fine for what was a relatively minor breach, it seems inevitable he will receive more fines as the police complete their investigation."

Scotland Yard is investigating a total of 12 events between May 2020 and April last year, with Mr Johnson accused of being present at six of them.
