Political leaders make case for hospitality businesses to reopen but few believe rules will be relaxed
Millions of people living under the highest level of coronavirus restrictions in England are waiting nervously to hear whether they will be able to go to the pub or out for a meal before Christmas ahead of an announcement on the government’s tiering system on Thursday morning.
Though political leaders have been publicly making the case for their towns and cities to be moved out of tier 3 so that their hospitality businesses can reopen, few hold out real hope that they will be relaxed ahead of Christmas – particularly after London was moved into the highest tier earlier this week.
