Could we see new Covid measures before the new year? Boris Johnson is due to be briefed on the latest data today and is weighing whether restrictions are needed. 😷
The briefing by government scientists on Monday is one of a regular series of updates given to the prime minister, and he has not yet called a cabinet meeting or announced a recall of Parliament.
But Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, treasurer of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tories, has urged the PM to be "very cautious" before applying further restrictions. Asked whether he was concerned England was "out of step" with the rest of the UK in terms of Omicron restrictions, Sir Geoffrey replied: "I think it is the other way round. I think the [other nations] are out of step with England. I think they have been overly cautious."
