Home Secretary Priti Patel has told Sky News she would call the police if her neighbours were hosting a party that broke coronavirus restrictions.

Under the new “rule of six”, which came into force on Monday, social gatherings of more than six people are now illegal in England.

People face fines of up to £3,200 if they do not abide by the new measure, which aims to curb an increase in COVID-19 cases.

Asked what she would do if she saw her neighbours breaking the new rule, Ms Patel told the Kay Burley @ Breakfast show: “I’m rarely at home but if I saw something that I thought was inappropriate then, quite frankly, I would call the police.”

She added: “It’s not dobbing in neighbours, it’s all about us taking personal responsibility.”
