Lib Dem Spokesperson for Woking, Councillor Will Forster, said: "Boris Johnson's Conservative party is taking this country for fools. People in this area will see right through his poor excuses and evasive answers. I hope Jonathan Lord condemns this." "People in Woking spent their Christmas away from loved ones, and sadly too many, lost family and friends to this awful virus.

This Government must be held accountable to an inquiry into all their rule breaking; from Barnard Castle to this latest episode. It cannot be one rule for them and another for the rest of us."
