Leading West End bar and restaurant operators warn they won’t survive the winter after a ‘horrendous’ first weekend of Tier-2 Covid-19 restrictions in the capital. Normally heaving streets were left desolate and ‘no mixing’ laws triggered tens of thousands of cancellations. The Evening Standard’s consumer business editor Jonathan Prynn spoke with restaurateurs and bar owners, saying the weekend was ‘as bad as anyone had feared’.

Both have hit the campaign trail hard over the weekend as they try to flip key battleground states. Lecturer at the UCL centre for US politics Dr Julie Norman tells us what to expect this week ahead of Thursday’s debate.
