LABOUR MPs have slammed ministers’ “hopeless” and “deeply flawed” plans for a second round of tiered coronavirus restrictions before a crunch Commons vote tomorrow.

The government is so desperate to get approval that some Tory MPs have reportedly been promised a ministerial job if they vote for the plans.
