Johnson & Sunak | What HR can learn from the No.10 lockdown fines scandal

Pressure has mounted on Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak in recent weeks, as questions continue to be raised about their abilities for the roles of Prime Minster and Chancellor.

Debate about Sunak’s suitability for his role has mainly been due to reported Russian links to his wife’s finances, and a PR disaster which saw him use a retail worker’s car for a photo opportunity at a petrol station.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson’s tenure as PM has been rife with concerns about his aptitude for the job. And the latest update in their recent streaks of controversy have seen the duo fined for breaching lockdown rules in June 2020.

As reported by the BBC, the Prime Minister, his wife, and the Chancellor all received fixed penalty notices this week for attending a birthday gathering for the PM at No 10.
