Boris Johnson came under increasing fire from leading scientists today for appearing to rule out another nationwide coronavirus lockdown, even if there is a second peak of deaths in the winter.
The Prime Minister was accused of 'painting himself into a corner' after he said he 'certainly' does not want to impose draconian restrictions again, amid warnings of a further spike in cases in coming months.
He used a newspaper interview to compare the 'tool' of national lockdown to the UK's Trident nuclear deterrent which he does not want to ever have to use.
