What the papers say – December 21 (PA)The papers on Tuesday are dominated by confusion over lockdown rules ahead of Christmas. The Daily Telegraph also carries the confusion caused by Cabinet’s refusal to implement pandemic measures despite advice from scientists. And the Daily Star leads with a tongue-in-cheek swipe at Mr Johnson over the incident with a “Government-endorsed cut-out-and-keep ‘work meeting’ cheeseboard” which readers can supposedly use to avoid breaking lockdown laws. The Guardian says Mr Johnson has been “accused of failing to follow science” on restrictions. And the Daily Mail declares that “Christmas is safe” as ministers “defy gloomy scientists by refusing to back new curbs”.
