Boris Johnson blasted for keeping borders 'wide open' with red list flights STILL arriving
BORIS Johnson today scrambled to fend off fresh accusations that he left Britain exposed to variants by keeping the borders "wide open".
The PM has been dogged by claims he dithered to ban travel from India and allowed the mutation to get a foothold in the country. "And even as the variant is spreading, the prime minister decides now is the time to weaken the system even more. It’s ridiculous." Mr Johnson tried to stamp his authority on the row at PMQs by unequivocally telling people to only go to amber countries in exceptional circumstances - not holidays.
