Home Secretary Priti Patel on Thursday urged people to minimise travel and meeting-ups during Christmas, echoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s message from the previous day.
“We’re urging people just to be safe basically, and have a smaller and local Christmas. Don’t travel if you don’t need to,” Patel told Sky News, “don’t stay overnight somewhere else where you don’t need to, stay at home effectively with your small support bubble.”
