Top Tories are accused of dodging coronavirus lockdowns in their own backyards as the North is hit by tight restrictions, yet the PM and his cronies are doing nothing about soaring cases in their own constituencies

Boris Johnson and his cronies have been blasted for plunging the North into lockdown but doing nothing in their own backyards 

Boris Johnson has been blasted for hitting the North with lockdowns while doing nothing about soaring Covid cases in his London constituency.

And he wasn’t the only top Tory to feel the heat for dodging tighter restrictions in his own backyard that might upset constituents.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and housing chief Robert Jenrick were among others slammed for ignoring rising rates on their patches – and helping create a new North-South divide.

To rub it in, many of the northern locked down areas are so-called Red Wall Tory seats gained from Labour in the last election.
