Keir Starmer: We are in a real emergency

Labour leader Sir Kier Starmer has described the ongoing crisis with Covid-19 as "out of control".

"We can have no more overpromising and false hope, no more confused messages and slow decision making. We need strong, clear, and decisive leadership."

The speech from Mr Starmer comes as Boris Johnson attends a Cobra meeting addressing the new strain of Covid-19.
