In a shocking turn of events, the Partygate investigation has revealed that not even the Prime Minister and the Chancellor are immune from the scrutiny of the law. Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak were among the 126 individuals who received fines for breaking COVID-19 restrictions during a party they attended last year.
According to sources, the party was a wild affair, with guests arriving in Maseratis and Lamborghinis and carrying bottles of Dom Perignon in their designer handbags. Johnson and Sunak were reportedly among the most rowdy of the bunch, dancing on tables and spraying champagne all over the place.
But the fun was short-lived when the police arrived to break up the shindig. Johnson and Sunak tried to make a run for it, but were caught by officers who were not impressed with their attempts at hiding in a nearby cupboard.
The two politicians were fined a total of £2000, with Johnson reportedly grumbling that it was “less than my weekly food bill at 10 Downing Street.” Sunak, for his part, tried to make light of the situation by tweeting a photo of himself in a prison outfit with the caption “Looks like I’ll be making some new friends in cell block C!”
Other high-profile guests at the party included the fashion designer Vera Wang, the actor Ryan Gosling, and the rapper Kanye West. All of them received fines as well, with Wang reportedly protesting that her custom-made dress was worth more than the cost of the ticket.
As for Johnson and Sunak, it remains to be seen whether this scandal will have any lasting effects on their political careers. But at least they’ll always have the memories of that wild night to keep them company.
