BORIS JOHNSON is preparing to face Sir Keir Starmer during this afternoon's Prime Minister's Questions as the Tory leader faces a revolt in the ranks over his plans for mandatory mask-wearing in shops across England.
The Prime Minister will face off with the Labour leader in a Commons showdown where he is expected to be questioned over his plans to make coverings mandatory from July 24, with shoppers facing a £100 fine if they refuse to comply. Some Conservatives have reacted in fury, complaining the ruling, with exemptions for children under 11 and people with certain disabilities and breathing conditions, is a violation of civil liberties.
