Boris Johnson will give the final go-ahead for 'Freedom Day' on July 19 today - but send a stark message that people need to keep being careful amid spiking cases. The Prime Minister will use a Downing Street press conference to confirm the unlocking next Monday, with almost all legal restrictions to be axed in England. The comments came after Health Secretary Sajid Javid suggested it would be 'irresponsible' not to wear masks in crowded places. Meanwhile, Sadiq Khan is still considering a bid to force passengers to keep wearing masks on trains, Tube and buses in London. The PM is expected to give final approval for Stage 4 of the roadmap tomorrow, with almost all legal restrictions set to be lifted.
