BRITAIN “must resist” increasing calls to “learn to live with” coronavirus, a leading left MP warned yesterday as global deaths hit one million.

Leeds East MP Richard Burgon, who is secretary of the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs, said: “Other countries have driven coronavirus cases down to incredibly low levels. With a different strategy, we can do this too — and we must, in order to protect lives and livelihoods.”

The campaign group has called for adoption of a zero-Covid strategy, as was successful in largely eliminating the virus in countries including China, Vietnam and New Zealand.
