Wales brings forward toughest restrictions and changes Christmas rulesLive reporting by Alan McGuinness, political reporterRetailers in England are"staring into the abyss" after parts of the country were placed in a niew Tier 4 of COVID-19 restrictions, industry leaders have said.
The British Retail Consortium said that the government's"stop-start" approach to regulations was"deeply unhelpful". Nicola Sturgeon says Level 4 measures will be applied to all of mainland Scotland for three weeks from Boxing Day.Nicola Sturgeon says people should"lift their guard again" if they have been a bit more lax in following the rules recently.
The first minister says there is"no evidence" to suggest the strain causes more serious illness and will impact upon the effectiveness of the vaccine, but adds that it could see an increase in the R number if left unchecked. "It is therefore right that the government has acted quickly to avert significant extra deaths and levels of harm.""The infection rates are going up very, very fast and so something has to be done," the Labour leader says in reaction to the PM's news conference."But millions of families across the country are going to be heartbroken by this news, having their Christmas plans ripped up.
"This will mean non-essential retail, close contact services, gyms and leisure centres and hospitality will close at the end of trading today."Unfortunately, we must also look again at the arrangements for Christmas – we cannot expose people to the risk of this new, more virulent strain of coronavirus.
"All he wants to do is to lock the whole country down," said the PM."He is a one-club golfer; that is the only solution he has." "So it is only right that if the Government were to seek to change them that must also be approved by a vote in the House of Commons in advance." It was the economist John Maynard Keynes who famously said:"When the facts change, I change my mind."Although, on second thoughts, after the Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s spending splurge this year, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, after all.
And as he read his opening statement, the Prime Minister looked and sounded hesitant and nervous. He was sombre and muted, deflated. And well he might be.Surely, this was the most solemn public statement Boris Johnson has ever given. The colour - never particularly rosy - appeared drained from his face.
If this new strain of co vid is sooooo infectious why wait a week .....
when i see this i just remember the train that William and Kate used taxpayer money for self-promotion during a pandemic. abolishthemonarchy
theSNP NicolaSturgeon Just like Australia we should close the borders, Internationally and between the 4 nations. Allowing people to enter country with no controlled quarantine & testing is madness
NicolaSturgeon when i see this i just remember the train that William and Kate used taxpayer money for self-promotion during a pandemic. abolishthemonarchy
NicolaSturgeon That’s how a true leader holds a news briefing, none of this blunder bluster from No.10.
theSNP NicolaSturgeon The new strain will already be in Scotland but never misses an 'us and them' opportunity....

You may only spread the virus for one day, thank you
don't worry, no-one's going to do what you say lady🖕😂🖕
She has made sure Scotland will never be Independent under her dictatorship. Their false pity is pitiful itself.
You can just about see the glee in her eyes as she get just another boost to the power crazy buzz that's made this the best year of her life!
theSNP Not clear when the border restrictions will begin, can anyone shed any light on the date this begins?
She has crucified Scotland for nothing!!! RESIGN!!!
I think it is time that people ignored all these leaders, they are clueless and not worthy of leading the UK. Wales!! He is a joke. Scotland, she is a tyrant! and England, well you only have to say two words - Boris Johnson - and everyone just falls about laughing.
Boris makes announcement = He's the devil. Sturgeon makes same announcement = She's a great leader. Covid19UK COVID19 NicolaSturgeon BorisJohnson tier4 Christmas2020 Lockdown3
NicolaSturgeon just said everything I wanted to hear Boris say. I think England shud b taking the same measures after xmas. Thoughts go out to all those in tier 4, while the rest of England is allowed to continue with xmas. We shud all unite to fight this.

Woke up composing a song 2:00am in the morning, saw myself singing in my dreams to an unknown sexy girl in the beach of Chicago. Who walked up to me with her sexy smiles and i confessed my feelings like a real star📻
She's looking for any excuse available to close the border, this might be it. She's been waiting for an opportunity like this since March.
NicolaSturgeon Is that the new strain they knew about in September. Pure fearmongering..
theSNP What's the fucking difference from Xmas day boxing day or the day after....does the virus only spread on set days and stop for Xmas, they haven't a clue what their doing.
