Keir Starmer has blasted the "empty threat" of 10-year prisn terms for Brits who lie about travelling to 33 'red list' countries.

From Monday, anyone returning to England from 33 high risk countries will have to spend 10 days in quarantine in a Government-designated hotel - at a cost of £1,750.

The so-called red list, which includes Portugal, South Africa and most of South America, covers countries where new variants are causing concern.

Travellers who try to evade strict new quarantine rules by failing to declare they have visited a "red list" country will be charged under the Forgery Act, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
