This interview came as it was revealed that London was on the ‘tipping point’ of being forced into lockdown, something the Prime Minister had earlier said would be the last resort. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is pushing for early closures and curfews. Health Secretary Matt Hancock warned of more restrictive measures as UK edges towards what could be a total National lockdown if figures do not stabilise.

Matt Hancock said, “people have got more relaxed over the summer” but “now is the moment when everybody needs to get back” to follow the rules.
