UK Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said on Monday that he cannot guarantee further restrictions.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid is expected to announce whether social mixing will be curtailed over the Christmas period.

Javid said, “We are assessing the situation; it’s very fast-moving.”

Meanwhile, Politico tweeted out, earlier on, “Boris Johnson is stuck between his scientific advisers and an increasingly disaffected Conservative Party over the seismic decision of whether to bring in new COVID measures over the Christmas Period.”
