BORIS Johnson tonight urged people NOT to move their 6-person gatherings inside as the weather turns worse.
Speaking tonight as Britain’s sunny summer weather started to return to cloud and rain, he stressed now was not the time to dip inside with friends and family.
Since Monday people in England have been allowed to meet up with up to six other people outside – as long as they stand 2m apart from everyone at all times.
But people are unable to have dinner with pals or host house parties inside at the moment.
At tonight’s Downing Street briefing the PM said: “As the weather threatens to take a turn for the worse, some of you may be tempted to move the gatherings as you’ve been enjoying outdoors indoors, out of the rain.
“Don’t do that.”
