Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer clashed over border controls at today’s PMQs, with the PM laying down the law on potential £10,000 fines for quarantine rulebreakers after the Labour leader said the government had lost control of its travel advice.
The heated exchange followed 24 hours of mixed messaging, in which two government ministers said holidays to “amber” list countries were acceptable, while another branded all holidays “dangerous”.
Tackling the issue on everyone’s mind, Starmer began his questioning by asking: “Does the Prime Minister agree that the single biggest threat to hitting the June 21 date for unlocking is the risk of new variants coming into the UK?”
