Taking to Twitter, former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage insisted “enough is enough”.
Mr Farage said: “Just one Covid death today and now 50 million vaccinations given, but we still can’t eat inside a restaurant or hug our loved ones.”
In an Express.co.uk poll – which ran from 9am to 10pm today – asked: “Should UK restrictions be ended now after just one death recorded?”

Up to 40 percent (1,637) said lockdown restrictions should be eased while just 41 people said they didn’t know.
