Prime Minister Boris Johnson will announce a new three-tiered restriction system on Monday to control the spread of the CCP virus, as a group of 70 Tory backbenchers are poised to oppose the plan.

England is currently under a four-week national lockdown that will end on Dec. 2. People have to stay at home unless they can’t work from home, and all businesses deemed non-essential are closed.
