Visiting a vaccination centre in Batley, the Prime Minister told reporters: "We're working fast to sort it out and we're now seeing a big increase in uptake in care home staff and that's a great thing to see, and I've seen in the last few weeks a big increase in the receptivity of care home staff to the vaccinations."

He also said he wanted to see care home residents and their families reunited "as soon as we sensibly and safely can", but visits needed to be approached "cautiously" and the government must be sure vaccinations are really working, he added.

During his visit to the vaccination centre, Mr Johnson confirmed all elderly care home residents have received or are due to receive their first dose of the Covid jab.

He added he was confident the UK has enough supply to give those residents a second dose within 12 weeks.

A 14-year-old victim of the Manchester Arena bombing says a couple from West Yorkshire saved her life.

They came to the aid of injured teenager Freya Lewis.

Kim says: "There was blood coming out of her mouth, and I thought 'oh my God I've got to look after her. I've got to get her out of here'."

Freya kept sliding down and closing her eyes as Kim strained to hold her up, talking to her non-stop to keep her conscious.

Freya says: "I think the absolute world of them, they're in my thoughts every single day. They are the reason that I'm still here. Kim and Phil saved my life.

"I'll be eternally grateful to them for the rest of my life."

A coroner has not yet received the prison ombudsman's report into the death of serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, who died from a combination of Covid-19, diabetes and heart disease on November 13.

Image source, PA Media

Sutcliffe, dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper, was serving a whole-life term for murdering 13 women across Yorkshire and north west England.

He was caught in 1980.

The former lorry driver, from Bradford, died in hospital where he is said to have refused treatment for Covid-19. He also had other health problems.

Sutcliffe, who was also found guilty of the attempted murder of seven women, was convicted in 1981.

He spent three decades at Broadmoor Hospital before being moved to HMP Frankland in County Durham in 2016.

This morning the assistant senior coroner for County Durham and Darlington, Crispin Oliver, held a brief hearing at Crook Civic Centre to give an update into how the inquiry was progressing.

Mr Oliver said the Frankland jail life prisoner changed his surname by deed poll in 2001 and for the purposes of the inquest will be known as Peter William Coonan, previously known as Peter William Sutcliffe.

Updating the record about the progression of the case, the coroner said: "I can confirm that the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman's report is still pending. I am awaiting that."

The coroner said there will be another hearing to assess progress on 31 March.
