On a side note, I really do not like or have any time for Matt Hancock, and think he’s hardly pretty much this whole pandemic pretty shockingly - but I do think he’s delivered this announcement far more eloquently and less robotic then Boris ever has.

He’s even actually attempted to answer some of the questions he’s been asked too! And not an ‘alas’ to be heard. 

yeah, agreed...he's a pratt but I think he's done better than the PM or many others in cabinet. I read somewhere that it's been him vs Sunak in persuading Johnson whether to lockdown or not.

He was also asked if the government have over-promised by saying we're normality by Easter. To which he responded by saying he's confident we can get back to normal by 2022. I can sound good if I make up questions and answer them.

Somehow they've contrived a more tedious on-off relationship than Bianca and Ricky in Eastenders.

Even more than Pilar and Marcus in Eldorado. "Marrrr-coos"

I am not going to be best pleased if when visiting a restaurant in the future they’ve run out of fish after all these negotiations surrounding what seems just the fishing access.

Isles of Scilly still in Tier1.

Interesting perspective from CNN, one which I think many people on here would agree with.

Within 6 weeks, by autumn, by Christmas, by Easter, by 2022 - what larks.

how high we gonna get ?!!  before the tier 4 starts to kick in ? 

[Jcatley]

These numbers make for grim reading. It is so sad that we have failed this much for the winter period when we had such an advanced warning to prepare for it.

I reckon we could do 70k-80k per day during January 

[FestivalJamie]

On a positive though, testing is way way up this past week. Although the average positivity is now about 7.5 % which is not good.
