--- Quote ---Boris Johnson will not face a further Partygate fine, says No 10
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been told he faces no further action after police closed their Partygate investigation, No 10 says.
Mr Johnson's wife, Carrie, will also not receive a further fine.
They were both fined last month for breaking Covid laws at a birthday party for Mr Johnson in Downing Street in June 2020.
Metropolitan Police said the inquiry into lockdown breaches in and around Downing Street has now come to an end.
It resulted in a total of 126 fines, known as Fixed Penalty Notices, being issued for events across eight different dates.
Twenty-eight people have been issued with more than one fine, the force added.
The ending of the police inquiry paves the way for the publication of the full report by senior civil servant Sue Gray into lockdown gatherings.

--- Quote ---Martin Lewis shares tip for increasing pension fund by £5,000
Rules around making voluntary national insurance contributions are set to change next April
Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, has shared how people aged between 45 and 70 could potentially turn £800 into more than £5,000 by boosting their state pension.
In order to get the full state pension, members of the public will often need to have made national insurance payments for around 35 years.
Some people may have gaps in their payment history due to periods of low income, spending years abroad or unemployment.
The current full state pension is £185.15 per week. Those without adequate national insurance years will receive a reduced pension.
In his latest newsletter, Lewis explains that these national insurance “gaps” can be amended by buying years back.
