Live: Boris Johnson post-lockdown tier rules national address.

BORIS Johnson is set to announce a tougher three-tier system for England today which will come into force from December 3.

The Prime Minister will address parliament with his updated "Covid Winter Plan" which is expected to include more details on a five-day Christmas break for Brits and a stricter tier system across England.

Boris Johnson is expected to confirm that the national lockdown will end as planned on December 2.

He will then explain the changes to England's regional three tier-system to help tackle coronavirus during the winter months.

While the restrictions are likely to be tougher in areas with higher infections, the PM is set to allow non-essential shops to re-open across England just in time for the festive season.

That means hairdressers, gyms and outdoor sports are expected to be open in all tiers - but pubs and restaurants in higher tiers may have tougher restrictions.

Pubs will have to serve "substantial meals" to stay open and outside drinkers will have to order food.

In a glimmer of good news, the hated 10pm curfew is set to be scrapped - with an hour of drinking and eating up time allowed until 11pm.

Households will still be banned from mixing indoors in higher-infection areas, including in cafes, restaurants and private homes.
