As it happened: MPs approve England's second coronavirus lockdown - BBC News
The new coronavirus restrictions are due to come into effect on Thursday.
Former prime minister Theresa May was one of a number of MPs criticising the use of a chart in Saturday’s lockdown news conference that gave a scenario of 4,000 coronavirus deaths a day over the winter (roughly four times the figure during the worst days of the first wave).

"It looks as if the figures are chosen to support the policy rather than the policy being based on the figures," she told Parliament's debate on the lockdown this afternoon.

The curves in the chart were all produced at the start of October, just after the rapid rise in cases that followed students returning to university. These were based on models for worst-case planning that assumed no changes in policy or behaviour.

But, since then, England has introduced a three-tier system of stricter measures and the epidemic has grown more slowly than the curves assumed it would.

On the day the chart was shown, we know of 171 people dying with coronavirus, which is far below the 1,000 a day envisioned by the most pessimistic model.

"The prediction was wrong before it was even used," Mrs May said.
