COVID-19 updates: London enters vaccine 'summer sprint' as huge queue forms at Tottenham Hotspur stadium

Ireland's deputy prime minister Leo Varadkar has said young people who are not fully vaccinated can travel abroad this summer, despite the chief medical officer’s advice to the contrary.

The rate of uptake in London has been slower than elsewhere, but Professor Kevin Fenton said it had been making “incredible progress” over the past few weeks. "So, I think if the numbers continue to be promising then I think there's great hope we could open up on 5 July."With anyone over the age of 18 now able to book a coronavirus jab, the NHS is braced for high demand.

"I'm not attracted at all to the idea of politicians trying to stitch up the choices available to voters in their own localities," he said. "Power has shifted from elected councils on their planning committees to development boards that are appointed by Conservative ministers in Whitehall." The murderer was jailed for life after strangling 15-year-olds Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth in Leicestershire in 1983 and 1986.

“I’m working my way through that very carefully, I’m taking advice on the matter and I’ll make an announcement within that 21-day period as soon as possible.” Mr Burnham said he would be looking for his constituents who planned to travel north of the border to be financially compensated by the Scottish Government."I'll be asking for compensation for the individuals who might lose holidays and the businesses who might lose bookings."

“We’ve talked a lot to countries like Israel who are ahead of us in the vaccination campaign, and they are now really looking at allowing people to come into their country who’ve had two vaccines and not needing to isolate.“We will need to be alert and will need to consider how we can measure the response of these vaccines to new variants that come along.

“I think we recognise now if you’ve got an epidemic in another country, that will increase cases in this country.”Speaking after Labour suffered its worst-ever by-election result in Chesham and Amersham, which saw the party lose its deposit mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said voters in Chesham and Amersham"clearly saw who was going to put a challenge up to the Tories".
