The Guardian - Johnson referred to police over new claims of Covid rule breach

Summary of the front page

The Guardian covers Boris Johnson being referred to the police over allegations of breaking lockdown rules. The alleged visits to Chequers were found in Mr Johnson’s diary by government-funded lawyers who were working on his defence for the public inquiry into the pandemic, according to the Guardian. 

The paper says the lawyers raised the entries with the Cabinet Office, which was then obliged under the civil service code to refer the matter to the police.

The front page also leads with a fatal crash in Wales which led to riots in the capital.
