Rishi Sunak was fined for attending a birthday gathering for Boris Johnson , then the prime minister, who also received a fine on the same day .
Mr Sunak drafted a resignation statement on the day he was fined by police for breaching lockdown rules.
But he was persuaded to stay on after an intervention by executives working for Rupert Murdoch .
He remained in post until July 5 , when he quit shortly after Sajid Javid announced he was resigning.
Mr Sunak was warned that he was being politically naive because resigning could have led directly to Mr Johnson ’s ousting.
He was also warned that being seen to have brought down Mr Johnson would have weakened his chances of winning the Tory leadership in the contest that would follow.
A spokesman for Mr Johnson said he did not recognise the account.
