Watch again: Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel hold press conference after Chequers meeting

Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel are holding a press conference, scheduled for 2pm, after holding talks at Chequers.

The Prime Minister set to challenge his German counterpart over why she pushed for tougher restrictions on vaccinated British travellers.

Mrs Merkel recently called on the European Union to adopt a single policy of making Britons quarantine even when double-jabbed to protect against the Indian or delta variant of Covid.

But Mr Johnson declared on Thursday that getting two doses of a Covid vaccine would be the "liberator" for travel, repeating that rules for quarantining when arriving in the UK would be loosened later in the summer.
