Boris Johnson has announced a shock plan to end all covid self-isolation laws in England in just two weeks time.
At the beginning of Prime Minister’s Questions the Tory leader brought cheers from his backbenchers with plans to end self-isolation for people who test positive for coronavirus “a full month earlier” than planned.
As he faced renewed criticism over his Jimmy Savile slur against Labour’s Keir Starmer, Johnson sought a further distraction from partygate controversies and his fitness to govern with the announcement.
