The Foreign Secretary has said airport testing would not be a “silver bullet” and quarantine measures cannot be eased “until we’ve got a safe system to allow it”.

He also called this week the “moment of reckoning” in Brexit negotiations, despite reports that Downing Street thinks the chances of getting a deal are only 30 to 40%.
