that the whole county had been placed into the highest tier of restrictions, after council leaders asked for it to be split into different tiers to reflect varying rates.How you and your family can celebrate Christmas and minimise the spread of coronavirus

England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, told the same briefing the government was trying to ensure the measures to control the virus were the "least damaging" possible - only enforcing the harshest restrictions "where rates are high or rising".

He added that he was "open to supporting measures" but only if it could be "clearly demonstrated that the government intervention will save more lives than it costs".Other Tory MPs have also spoken of their dismay at the impact on their local constituencies, with some saying they would vote against the plans.

Others representing parts of Somerset said they expected their area to move down after a review in mid December.

RobertJenrick right on BBCr4today that local Tiers must be 'sufficiently robust' or this happens👇 Route to micro-Tiers Kent MPs want is via Track/Trace/Isolate system using Huawei5g supertech but Tory backwoodsmen are all Huawei haters TomTugendhat

Blaaaa blaaaa good cop bad cop, stop acting like you give a fuck. They are all the same. Parasites the lot of them

Ffs when are people going to realise This virus is a hell of lot more serious than People realise, the media needs to stop feeling the haters and the anti covid mob and be more responsible

They should be looking at a test that produces so many false positives.

tories don't care about working-class heroes, so one asked, what's in it for them?

This suggests that certain Tory MPs would prefer to allow COVID-19 free range, with no control. Are they really mentally deficient, as I have long suspected? Maybe they should become infected, to expose themselves to reality!

Even the Tories don’t like it what does that tell you.

But most of the arseholes will still vote it through. 🙄🙄🙄

A LOT of Uk in Tier 3, hospitality/theatres/cinemas closed, can’t meet others inside, can’t travel out of your tier; whilst London continues to function despite their high infection rate. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmask!

Another 600 dead yesterday how much evidence to they want ?

Bit late ..it's been implemented

All MP's should be calling for it.

If you let a clown run the circus . . .

And yet Scotland and NI in much stricter conditions and nobody questions that. Sturgeon can do what she likes here.

there is no evidence.... only 'maybe' and 'could' alarmist headlines

So today is a big day in Melbourne - it has officially eliminated COVID after 28 days of now local transmission. How? The Government listened to the science and worked with unimelb to develop suitable modelling. See this thread

The thing that would worry me is , how do you know if the evidence is true I mean you only have the government's word and that's not been reliable .

None of them asked for evidence of Brexit being a good idea. Went to great lengths to keep everyone in ignorance & deny everyone access to the impact assessments. This is what happens when you 'believe' in Brexit & its associated fairytale bollocks.

Hmm seems their chickens have come home to roost..something they were not expecting! Rule of thumb..don't get into bed with the devil...there is always payback!

That’s it, start to turn on him, maybe a Tory government will actually do something good soon.
