Ahead of Tuesday’s vote, PM announces support for pubs in top two tiers that have to close
Boris Johnson has made a final appeal to Conservative backbenchers to support his new system of tiered coronavirus restrictions, saying the country just needed to “hold our nerve” for a few more months before the likely arrival of vaccines.
Addressing the Commons ahead of a vote on the English system on Tuesday evening that could see anything from 30 to 100 Tories rebel, Johnson said he accepted that many people felt they had been “unfairly” put under higher-than-need rules.
