'Vaccine is not here yet': Boris Johnson opens debate on new Tier system

Boris Johnson today announced every 'wet pub' forced to stay shut because of the new coronavirus tier restrictions will receive a one-off payment of £1,000 to help them stay afloat during December. The Prime Minister said pubs which do not serve food will be eligible for the cash to recognise 'how hard they have been hit by this virus in what is typically their busiest month'. Mr Johnson said pubs, bars and restaurants are the 'heart of our communities' but he admitted they had been forced to carry a 'disproportionate share of the burden' during the Government's efforts to slow the spread of the disease. The cash payment was immediately criticised by furious hospitality bosses who said it was nowhere near enough to address the 'financial armageddon' faced by many firms.
