Boris Johnson news – live: PM lays out new restrictions in Commons, as Starmer attacks ‘incompetent’ government
Boris Johnson is unveiling his planned new restrictions in the Commons, imposing fresh curbs on the hospitality sector, weddings and indoor sport, ahead of a national announcement from Downing Street tonight.
It came as the government decided to scrap plans for people to legally identify as a different gender without a medical diagnosis, claiming that there are already “proper checks and balances in the system".
Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has strongly criticised the government for “holding Britain back” through its 'incompetence", while urging the electorate to reconsider Labour now it is “under new leadership”.
