I understand that the 'police' have decided that an investigation of

sexual activities by civil servants during 'working' hours have been
investigated, presumably by the police, and successfully prosecuted.
Is this example of one rule for the politicians and another for the
great unwashed?

Why would the police prosecute consenting sexual activity during working
hours anymore than other types of skiving off work?

Don't remain ignorant all your life - find out what the common-law
criminal offence of "Misconduct in a public office" entails and you will
have your answer.
