Boris Johnson criticizes Keir Starmer for suggesting Covid penalty notices are criminal convictions.

During Prime Minister's Questions, Boris Johnson accused Keir Starmer of misleading Parliament by suggesting fixed-penalty notices for breaking Covid rules were criminal convictions. Starmer had responded to Tory MP Kemi Badenoch's criticism about a Labour politician's resignation due to a fraud conviction. Johnson and Rishi Sunak received fixed-penalty notices, which are not criminal convictions. Tory MPs called for Starmer to correct his statement, while Labour urged the Conservatives to address their own issues.
