BRITAIN could be faced with at least another three weeks in lockdown as the UK's daily death toll surged to almost 1,000 on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister was transferred to intensive care on Monday night after experiencing breathing difficulties. During the No 10 press briefing on Wednesday, Mr Sunak announced an approximate £750million of additional funding for charities across the country. Another £370million will be available for small to medium charities who provide services such as delivering food. Following Rishi Sunak's admission on Wednesday, ministers will discuss plans to extend the lockdown today.
