Local leaders warn of anger if too many areas end up with highest restrictions when lockdown ends
Boris Johnson is facing an increasingly bitter fight over placing English regions into the new levels of coronavirus lockdown, with MPs and council leaders warning the government of significant anger if too many areas end up in the top tier.
The government is expected to tell local regions across England over the course of Thursday which of the three tiers they will be in, under a new plan for the winter that comes into operation once the national lockdown ends on 2 December.
