The shadow universities team is announced and we look at student polling on the pandemic
We start this morning with the grave news that the prime minister has been transferred to the intensive care unit of St Thomas’ Hospital as he is treated for the effects of coronavirus. We wish him a full and speedy recovery.
The announcement just after 8pm last night came following days of speculation about Boris Johnson’s health. At the 5pm press conference yesterday, foreign secretary Dominic Raab was insistent that the prime minister continued to lead the government and was working while in hospital.
