Boris rolls the dice: Newspapers respond to PM’s ‘gamble’ on Covid restrictions

Tuesday’s papers are led by reaction to Boris Johnson’s announcement that almost all remaining pandemic measures will be lifted on July 19 despite coronavirus cases continuing to rise.

The Guardian and Metro both dub the decision a “gamble”, with the Financial Times saying Mr Johnson ignored warnings that the “pandemic is worsening”.

The Daily Telegraph, Daily Express and Daily Mail all run with the headline: “It’s now or never”.
