Coronavirus at Christmas: Sadiq Khan says news a 'bitter blow' to families and business

London's mayor has said the new coronavirus Christmas rules are a "bitter blow" for families and businesses - describing them as an "11th hour" change.

Sadiq Khan told BBC Breakfast the "chop change, stop-start" had caused anguish and despair for Londoners.

However, he urged the public to follow the government's rules, saying his criticism lies with the prime minister's comments a few days ago that Christmas could continue.
