In full: Boris Johnson warns pub drinkers to act responsibly on ‘Super Saturday’

The success of reopening thousands of pubs on Saturday will depend on drinkers acting responsibly and not letting them down, Boris Johnson will warn on Friday.

The Prime Minister will say the reopening “will only succeed if everyone works together” and warn that restrictions will reimposed if coronavirus “starts running out of control again”.

Businesses in England have been rushing to make sure they are ready for so-called “Super Saturday” after Mr Johnson said they could reopen from July 4 after more than 100 days of lockdown.

The Prime Minister will say that Saturday is “about supporting the livelihoods of business owners and their employees up and down the country” and paying tribute to their “heroic effort” to reopen.
