- description: Breaking news: BORIS Johnson will reveal a fresh lockdown tonight with an address to the nation - after he warned there was "no question" of tougher measures coming "in due course". The Prime Minister will make televised address tonight at 8pm to update the country on the next steps to tackle coronavirus - where he is expected to announce a raft of new measures. A No10 spokesman said: ‘The spread of the new variant of COVID-19 has led to rapidly escalating case numbers across the country. "The Prime Minister is clear that further steps must now be taken to arrest this rise and to protect the NHS and save lives. "He will set those out this evening." Parliament will also be recalled today to sit on Wednesday - meaning there will likely be a vote on the measures, and they are expected to be national rather than regional. However, the new measures could be imposed as early as tonight with MPs given a retrospective say. The news came after Health Secretary said nothing - including a national lockdown - was off the table as the Government mull new measures to try and crack down on the case numbers - which have reached record highs in the past week.
