Boris Johnson breathes a sigh of relief on Partygate scandal. But another crisis will be along soon
CNN
Boris Johnson has been able to end what might have otherwise been a troubling week with an unexpected sigh of relief.
On Thursday, it was announced that the British Prime Minister would not receive any further fines from the Metropolitan Police over the "Partygate" scandal that has dogged Johnson for months.
Despite being the first UK premier in history found to have broken the law in office, and people working in Downing Street receiving hundreds of police fines for breaching Covid regulations that Johnson himself made, the end of this police investigation significantly reduces the risk of another smoking gun the PM's enemies can use to get rid of him.

As lawmakers demand answers over reports that the US military carried out a follow-up strike that killed survivors during an attacked on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a career Navy SEAL who has spent most of his 30 years of military experience in special operations will be responsible for providing them.
