“The only reason we are able to open up in this way at all, is that we have vaccinated such a large proportion of the population and at such speed.

“It is phenomenal that every adult in this country has now been offered a first dose.”

Britain’s Opposition Leader, Sir Keir Starmer, described it as “reckless” to lift all restrictions.

Many nightclubs opened at midnight, after being closed for 16 months.

In his report, Adam Gilchrist told Neil Breen people are being told to wear masks on trains.
