Wales is in lockdown chaos as Labour chiefs defend their 17-day ban on shops selling “non-essential” goods – except for alcohol.
The “firebreak” for the entire country came into effect at 6pm yesterday, with people being ordered to stay at home and most shops told to close.
Supermarkets were banned from selling goods not deemed to be essential, although exactly what these were was not spelled out. It led to scenes where shop workers were sectioning off aisles selling bedding, clothes, phone chargers and kettles.
But many residents are baffled by what they can and can’t buy – and there are fears of the return of “trolley police” snooping at their shopping.
Meanwhile police checkpoints are being set up on a key section of the Wales-England border, with Gloucestershire Constabulary stopping and questioning people travelling into Wales.
