British Prime minister Boris Johnson announces all pandemic legal curbs in England will end later this week, urging a shift from government intervention to personal responsibility. Johnson, who has been mired in scandals that have threatened his hold on power, says the legal need for people to self-isolate when infected with Covid-19 would stop from Thursday 24 February 2022.

Johnson has so far ruled out resignation but several of his own lawmakers have urged him to do so or face a vote of no confidence.
The new allegation is the latest in a string of parties reportedly held at Downing Street during the pandemic which senior civil servant Sue Gray is expected to publish a report on later this week.
Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Boris Johnson of "lying through his teeth" and called on him to "do the decent thing, and resign".
