Ministers have been forced into a crisis rethink of the way coronavirus tests are bought after it emerged the NHS in England and Wales were competing over testing.

A group of 50 MPs have written to Boris Johnson to call for compensation for the families of those who lose their lives on the frontline of the battle against coronavirus.

Boris Johnson has warned his top ministers the coronavirus crisis "is going to get worse before it gets better" at the first cabinet meeting in history to be held entirely on a video call.

Boris Johnson is facing growing pressure to get more personal protective equipment (PPE) to health workers after it was claimed some nurses were treating coronavirus patients "without any protection at all".

Full-time workers who have recently changed jobs are being sacked or left without pay because of an apparent loophole in the government's coronavirus support scheme, Sky News can reveal.
