Brits to be told NOT to travel across the UK for Christmas unless ‘absolutely necessary’

MILLIONS of Brits are now being told NOT to travel across the UK until it’s “absolutely necessary”.

Government transport chiefs have started new “cautionary messaging” as ministers urge people to be careful around seeing family and friends next week.

The tone will change to “Don’t travel unless you absolutely have to.”

The Government’s Christmas travel tsar, Peter Hendy, said today: “I think one ought to say be careful, one ought to say stay local.”
