Sir Keir Starmer will make a televised address to the nation in response to Boris Johnson’s coronavirus statement.
The Labour leader is to get a “right of reply” on Wednesday evening to the Prime Minister’s statement in which he warned tougher restrictions could be imposed if the rate does not fall.
Sir Keir’s speech will be aired on BBC One in the same primetime slot of 8pm given to Mr Johnson a day earlier, the broadcaster said.
A Labour source said: “He will support what the government has announced but also state that another national lockdown isn’t inevitable and what we need to do is follow the rule of law and fix issues such as testing.”
