MPs are ‘planning Johnson’s downfall,’ and there’s a Plan B update.

In the Times, they reported that the prime minister is planning to announce “the end of Covid restrictions”. It reports Covid testing facilities will begin to close from spring, both to set aside money and as a component of a drawn-out technique of “living with the virus.”
