The Metro – Boris rolls the dice
The Metro’s headline reads: “Boris rolls the dice”. It says the PM has taken a bold gamble by declaring the last lockdown restrictions will lift on 19 July – even though daily Covid cases will rise and more people will die. It highlights Boris Johnson’s comments around the public being able to make their “own informed decisions” and his warning that the pandemic is “far from over”. “I don’t want people to feel this is the moment to get demob-happy, that this is the end of Covid,” he is quoted as saying.
