Doubtless more fines (which escalate in cost for repeat offenders) and pictures of unlawful indoor gatherings will come Johnson's way. The Police have only levied 50 fines for quick wins, there's more incidents to be investigated.
Under Johnson, the Party of law and order is fast becoming the Party and parties of law-breaking and disorder. It's reminiscent of the crumbling months of Major's regime. Perhaps this at least might provide Johnson with some comfort as Major has rehabilitated his reputation somewhat.

Except that maybe Boris knows he did NOT break the rules, and the Police have misinterpreted them. It is the Met we are talking about, you know. They have form.
I don’t see any mention of birthday cake in the regulations.
