Stanley Johnson has been caught again for not wearing his mask properly, after posting a photo from Tube saying he was now masked properly.
The prime minister’s father was photographed with his face covered under his nose while waiting at a station to board a Bakerloo line train today.
Transport for London (TfL) rules state that masks must be worn for the “full duration of trips” in the capital city, including “inner stations”.
It adds that those who do not cover their faces on the public transport network could be denied travel or receive a minimum fine of 200 pounds sterling.
After the photograph was published, Stanley, 80, insisted that he did not know that the rules also applied when standing on the platform.
Stanley previously shared a photo of him with Work and Pensions Secretary Thérèse Coffey and MP John Penrose on his Instagram.
He wrote: ‘Masks firmly in place on the Jubilee line with @theresecoffey and @JohnPenroseNews after the #CPF session at the’ virtual ” Conservative Party Conference ‘.
It comes after the I’m A Celebrity star was criticized for failing to cover her face in a supermarket and knocking one down while reading at an airport last week.

When informed that face covering is required in all areas of the London Underground, Stanley said he was’ happy to be informed ‘that that’s the case, adding:’ It’s only my third day back in London. I’m learning every day. ‘
On its website, TfL says: “Face covers must be worn for the entire duration of travel on the public transport network, including indoor stations, and in taxis and private rental vehicles.”
The prime minister’s official spokesman said he did not know if Boris Johnson had spoken to his father about the latest incident.
But referring to earlier images of Stanley Johnson without a mask, the spokesperson said: ‘I know the Prime Minister’s father has said that he acknowledges his mistake and fully understands that it is vital that everyone abides by the rules on face covering and social distancing.’ ‘.
“As I said last week, the Prime Minister is very clear that everyone must follow the guide in the hands, the face, the space; the rules apply to all of us.”
When asked whether Johnson should face a fine, the spokesperson added: “It is not my job to advise the police regarding individual cases, that is not how it works in this country.”
Stanley also faces questions after a new biography claimed he beat up the prime minister’s mother in a domestic violence incident that broke her nose.
The 80-year-old man was seen reclining in an airport chair while reading a book with the mask pulled down on his face last Sunday.
He was waiting for a plane in Athens, Greece, where the law states that masks must be worn at all times in public spaces.
Stanley had spent three weeks in his Greek villa before he was seen openly breaking the rules while waiting for a plane to return him to the UK. The airport witnesses also claimed that he had violated social distancing rules.
One told The Daily Star: ‘I first noticed Stanley because he sat too close to me in the doorway so I had to crawl across the seats to maintain social distancing, then I noticed he wasn’t wearing his mask properly.
“I find his behavior shocking given that he is the father of the prime minister who is currently enforcing these rules.”
On Wednesday he was photographed shopping at his local kiosk without covering his face.

Stanley admitted that ‘maybe he was not 100% up to date’ with the rules that they had just returned from abroad and said he was very sorry.
At the time, the Metropolitan Police said he would not be fined because he was a first-time offender.
A spokesperson for the force told The Mirror: ‘Of course, the MPS is not looking into COVID-related issues in retrospect.
When we learn that a violation is occurring, officers will seek to engage, explain, and encourage people to follow the rules, and will only enforce them as a last resort.
“When we are informed about alleged infractions after the event, the officers will not have had the opportunity to participate, explain or encourage, and those involved will not respond positively to that process, as most people do.”
The Metropolitan Police added that, due to the above, it would be inappropriate to go after the Prime Minister’s father and urged the public to continue to follow the rules.
Meanwhile, a biography claimed on Saturday that he had beaten the prime minister’s mother in a domestic violence incident that left her in need of hospital treatment.
It is one of a series of revelations in The Gambler, a major biography of Tom Bower’s prime minister, which is serialized in The Mail on Sunday.
Unhappy families: Boris is on the far left, his parents on the right. Mr. Bower describes Stanley’s first marriage, to Boris Johnson’s mother Charlotte, as violent and unhappy, and quotes her saying, “ He broke my nose. ”

She added: ‘It made me feel like I deserved it.’ I want the truth to be told.
Family friends confirmed the story to the Mail on Sunday on Saturday, but insisted the incident was unique.
Stanley previously encountered a furious backlash earlier this year after he flew to his four-room home in Greece, ignoring guidance from the Foreign Office at the time.
He had claimed that he needed to do a “Covid test” at his villa before the rental season started.
MailOnline has reached out to TfL and the Metropolitan Police for comment.
