BORIS JOHNSON is set to toughen coronavirus measures for England this evening.

The Prime Minister has been under increased pressure to swiftly impose harsher rules after Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced a full lockdown from midnight tonight.

In a televised speech, Mr Johnson is expected to announce that the whole of England will enter Tier 4 – the highest level of restrictions – and that all schools will be shut.
