The UK reported more than 90,000 new Covid cases on Friday – the third consecutive day the record daily tally was surpassed.

Plans are being drawn up for a two-week circuit breaker lockdown after Christmas which would include a ban on mixing indoors, it has been reported.

Leaked minutes from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies , seen by the BBC, reportedly said scientists had told ministers that tougher measures need to be brought in ‘very soon’. The Chancellor met virtually with the Confederation of British Industry, the Federation of Small Businesses, and the British Chambers of Commerce on Friday afternoon.

On a visit to a vaccination centre in Hillingdon, west London, on Friday, he said: ‘We are seeing a considerable wave coming through and people have got to be prepared and they have got to understand what it entails.’
