Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Sunday appealed for “unity and resolve” in a letter he wrote to a group of 70 Conservative MPs who object to the continuation of CCP virus lockdown restrictions.

Parliament is due to vote on Tuesday on Johnson’s COVID-19 Winter Plan (pdf), which replaces the current national lockdown with a strict tiered system from Wednesday.
