Read our privacy policy Former Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe got in a heated row with ITV host Piers Morgan after she said people would have to get back to work on public transport even if they “can’t keep the two metres apart”. The Brexit Party politician appeared on Good Morning Britain to insist the economy had “got to be kept moving” – much to the annoyance of Mr Morgan, who said the two-metre rule should be “enforced” on public transport to keep people safe. “If we’re told kept that two metres distance apart … and then telling people in London and other cities, ‘Get on public transport, get to work’ is completely incoherent. “Let me say, if we’re going to open up public transport and say ‘please use it’ we have to set the two metres distance as a requirement.” There was a 10 per cent increase in London Underground journeys early on Thursday compared with the same period last week, Transport for London said.
