In today's national coronavirus news:

Boris Johnson promised £1,000 to pubs forced to remain closed under England's new coronavirus restrictions as he sought to ward off a damaging Tory revolt over the plans.

The new arrangements will come into force on Wednesday, putting 99% of England in the toughest Tier 2 and Tier 3 restrictions, with the Commons almost certain to back the plans despite a Conservative rebellion.

But Mr Johnson's announcement of a one-off payment for "wet" pubs which do not offer food was branded "derisory" by the trade at a time when landlords should be enjoying a festive boost to their takings.

And senior Tories lined up in the Commons to say they would not be supporting the measures replacing England's national lockdown.

Pubs in Tier 2 areas - covering 57% of England's population - can only serve alcohol with a "substantial meal" and are also covered by rules restricting households mixing indoors, severely harming trade.

In Tier 3, pubs and restaurants can only offer takeaway and delivery services.
