As Monday marked a change in coronavirus rules in England, Boris Johnson addressed the press in his fancy new £2.6 million briefing room in Downing Street.
The new Downing Street briefing room makes its debut. Reminds me of the set of Judge Rinder https://t.co/idqOwLIvNr via @BBCNews

The PM announced that a deal with GlaxoSmithKline would see 60 million doses of the Novavax vaccine being bottled at a plant in the North East, which is good news for workers there.
He was oddly vague about the location of the plant in question.

So GlaxoSmithKline at Barnard Castle have got the contract to bottle 60m Norovax vaccines and this has absolutely nothing to do with Dominic Cummings visit there, right?

A reminder that Barnard Castle's most famous tourist, Dominic Cummings, travelled further with coronavirus in lockdown than Crewe Alexandra have gone for a competitive game in their 144-year history: https://t.co/uf380eVLYw
