Accosted over a Costa: Park-goer gives takeaway coffee cup-carrying Boris Johnson a piece of his mind - as Prime Minister pleads with Brits to stay at home during last days of lockdown

While on a morning stroll through a park the Prime Minister was given a stern talking to by a member of the public.

Boris Johnson was unexpectedly accosted by a man who seemed less than pleased with the PM as he walked through St James's Park near Downing Street clutching a commuter's favourite - a takeaway coffee cup. 

Johnson was pictured for the fourth time this week in 'back to work' mode with his Costa coffee as he stretched his legs in a bid to send a 'back to business' message to Britain's workers.

The Prime Minister was pictured several days this week venturing outside with a coffee cup in true commuter style. 

His outing comes a day before he is expected to announce some easing of the coronavirus lockdown measures tomorrow night.  

He will address the UK and set out his lockdown exit plan, with a particular focus on outdoor activities due to the reduced rate of transmission outdoors compared to indoors.   

The new rules will see people being encouraged to cycle to work where possible, companies told to provide face masks for staff and garden centres reopening on Wednesday. 

In addition, passengers arriving at UK ports and airports from all countries except Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man will have to self-isolate for two weeks and must fill in a digital form telling officials where they intend to do so.

On Sunday afternoon Boris Johnson is expected to reveal his long-anticipated 'road map' for leaving lockdown. Prime Minister pictured again on Wednesday with another cup of Costa coffee

Addressing his Cabinet last week, he said he would be proceeding with 'maximum caution' to avoid a second wave of infection to the population.  

The long-anticipated lockdown easing 'road map' is expected to set out 'milestones' for easing the measures but polls suggest the government may struggle to persuade the public to return to work.  

A survey conducted by YouGov between May 7-8 found some 75 per cent said it would be wrong to lift the lockdown now.
