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

Experts have been urging the government to be cautious and Labour has questioned the plans to reduce testing.

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.
