David Wolfson says behaviour of Boris Johnson and others in Downing Street was ‘inconsistent with the rule of law’
Boris Johnson has suffered the first resignation since being fined by police for breaking Covid rules, with justice minister David Wolfson saying the prime minister’s actions were “inconsistent with the rule of law”.
Wolfson said it would be wrong for “that conduct to pass with constitutional impunity, especially when many in society complied with the rules at great personal cost, and others were fined or prosecuted for similar, and sometimes apparently more trivial, offences”.
