CRITICISM was levelled against Boris Johnson today over the lack of social distancing and mask-wearing at a Downing Street meeting, now that six Tories including the PM are self-isolating.

One of the Tory MPs at the meeting, Ashfield MP Lee Anderson, tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday after losing his sense of taste on Friday.

A picture of Thursday’s meeting was posted by Mr Anderson on his Facebook page that shows him and Mr Johnson standing less than two metres away from each other while not wearing face masks.
