Coronavirus: Newark MP Robert Jenrick wishes Prime Minister Boris Johnson a speedy recovery

Newark MP Robert Jenrick has sent his best wishes to Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he was admitted to hospital with coronavirus.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast this morning, the Housing Secretary said: "We would all wish him well. I hope he has a speedy recovery and gets back to Number 10 and can take charge in the way he would want as soon as possible.

"It is very frustrating for him, someone like Boris, who wants to be hands-on and running the government from the front."
