SOCIALIST Labour MPs accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson today of waging a “class war” by urging people to go back to work and putting profit before safety.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) data revealed today where the burden of the pandemic is falling.

Workers in service jobs — carers, bus drivers, security guards, chefs and retail assistants, for example — have suffered higher rates of death linked to Covid-19 during the pandemic than other workers, and two-thirds of deaths were among men.
