Boris Johnson: End of covid restrictions

Listen on

Episode notes

The Prime Minister is unveiling his plans to scrap all remaining covid legal restrictions in England as part of his ‘Living with Covid’ plans. 

Is this the return of normality at last? Well, it’s certainly not smooth sailing for Mr Johnson. Experts have been urging the government to be cautious and Labour has questioned the plans to reduce testing. There’s also some criticism about the timing of the announcement in the wake of ‘partygate’. 

The Evening Standard’s Political Editor, Nicholas Cecil, explains what we know so far about the plans and how they're going down in Westminster.
