Since Labour are listed first does that mean they’re actually ahead if you express the percentages to 1 decimal place? 

I have a feeling they are listed first as they gained a point whereas the Tories are down a point, but that’s a guess.

Nicola Sturgeon has generally done pretty well throughout this crisis but the new rules for students are absolutely astonishing. Wouldn’t surprise me if that generates civil disobedience. 

Should have just kept students online from home rather than sending everyone back and then banning them from hospitality.

I agree. My cousin is at uni in Edinburgh but lives at home with my auntie in Fife and commutes in. I find it horrific if she is covered by this rule when she doesn’t even live in halls or really socialise at all with people she’s at uni with. Why shouldn’t she be allowed to attend a restaurant with her parents or meet a friend in the park like everybody else?

Students really got shafted- essentially conned into agreeing to get locked into accommodation contracts for the year before being told "whoops, lectures will be remote and you can't socialise , oh and maybe you can't go home for Christmas! But hey, student accommodation needed your money!"

Not to mention unnecessary spreading round the country

True.  6201 on 1st May was next highest after today. 

Unfortunately the upward curve is no surprise to those of us in the scientific community. Although the exact mechanism of respiratory virus spread is not fully understood (re droplets, aerosols, air/surface, critical density etc), we know occurs through herds. Put people together, mix them up and a virus will spread. The more you do it, the more it spreads. It amazes me the government thought they could encourage workers back to the office, children back to school and students to university without significant consequence.

Yep, exact problem I have. At least I have 50:50 learning and I guess I won’t be socialising much anyway, but I’m locked into a contract. But could definitely go all online in a next lockdown and I’m definitely coming home for Christmas I’m not staying in uni I’m coming back to see my family regardless!
