While speaking at a Downing Street press conference this week, the Prime Minister said his aim was to avoid “taking our foot off the throat of the beast”.
He said: “If we ease off now we risk losing control of this virus all over again, casting aside our hard-won gains and forcing us back to a New Year national lockdown with all the damage that would mean.”
