The not meeting in other houses is due an SI (possibly today, if they can get it through on a Friday - it remains mere advice until that happens) but the pubs bit isnāt going to be legislated.
So largely nothing changes unless you were planning a house party after todayā¦
I thought they passed legislation stating that councils and government are able to bring in these rapid changes without passing more legislation again? 
I could be wrong tho.

They gave councils more power, but changing the law still requires an SI (which can be voted on retroactively but still has to exist and be passed by a committee)ā¦ you canāt have government able to change law without due process, that tends to end badly.
Itāll show up hereā¦
Or possibly a bit faster here (harder to search through)ā¦

I walked past a barber shop in zone 2 London yesterday and none of the staff or customers were wearing masks. 
One of my employers went into adminstration today, to be fair didnāt come as a shock as was pretty much expecting it, been on furlough since day 1 and itās still one the sectors that canāt fully open yet.
Now down to just the main job and another furloughed job, fortunately during lockdown I was in the position to pay the majority of my big bills off to the point a bit less wages incoming wonāt affect me.
Sorry about your side job. 
If you donāt already have one, whilst you still have your other jobs, I canāt recommend enough the value of having an emergency fund to cover all your expenses and spending for at least 3 months.
Iāve been dumping all my surplus money into my emergency fund for the past couple months, instead of stocks, just to be safe. If the worst happens, I currently have enough to survive for at least the next 7 months now, which gives me time to find another source of income.

Itās something on my list to do but not gotten around to it as yet, fortunately my main job isnāt going anywhere and theyāre having to recruit another 15,000 people to deal with the Covid-19 crisis, Iāve been there around 18 years now and itās about as secure as can be.
Bulk of my savings at moment is now going towards driving license and then HGV license so I can have a change of career

Funnily enough thatās exactly what the government donāt want you to do. No meeting family and friends.

Either hacked or very misguided posting links to canadian pharmaciesā¦
Because theyāre a known spam account that hasnāt been banned yet.

San Quentin, I hate every inch of you.
I have this problem, with my diving club (who I have not met in person since January) I booked a dive holiday to Cyprus late last year and paid several deposits. Due to the specialist nature of the holiday we have to book accommodation, flights and activities separately so no ATOL protection.
This year lockdown starts, and the various companies start asking for final payments whilst the world is on lockdown. We as a group discussed it, and despite not all of us having insurance which would cover cancellation due to global pandemics, we decided to pay the final payments knowing that if a second wave hits we may not travel.
Will we be able to go? No idea. I suspect we will know for sure about 3 days before the flights.
Will we get refunds or be able to re-arrange? Maybe but I am sure we will lose some or all of our money.
