Work from home scrapped IMMEDIATELY with workers due back in office from tomorrow
BORIS Johnson has announced that working from home is to be scrapped with immediate effect – meaning that workers will be due back into the office from tomorrow.

Brits will be expected to go back into the office tomorrow as the work from home guidance has been dropped immediately.
The remaining rules will expire on January 26 meaning the changes will kick in next week.
Mr Johnson said: "The Cabinet concluded that because of the extraordinary booster campaign, together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures, we can return to Plan A in England, and allow Plan B regulations to expire."
Brits will still be urged to wear masks in crowded places, but will not be fined for refusing to do so.
Masks are also set to be be ditched in classrooms tomorrow and scrapped completely in schools next week.
In a major win for pupils the requirement to wear face coverings during lessons will be dropped ahead of the wider scaling back of Plan B next Wednesday.
