The government has been failing disabled people since the Covid pandemic began. Now we are being forgotten again, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

As fears rise over the spread of coronavirus in Britain, it is remarkable how little ministers are talking about the millions of people who are most at risk. Boris Johnson addressed the nation yesterday about the fear of a second wave but made no substantive mention of people with underlying health conditions who are particularly vulnerable to the virus.

If Shielding is important to you please tweet your local MPs using ShieldingSavesLives for continuity. Write to your own MP too. We’re trying to ensure every MP has heard that we want the choice to shield but that requires shielding restarting.

Can only assume they didn’t kill enough vulnerable people the first time around.

I've just seen a young man interviewed. Said 'we're young we wanna go out. They're ruinin our uni life' Gutted for him 😂

Parents should not have to choose between health & education. Schools without distancing're not safe. Opening and closing schools is not sustainable education. Pls support our petition for blended education to keep schools safe &make education sustainable.

I know its sad. End of the day go to the local shop and get your booze from there. Not the end of the world!!!

Boris Johnson should be tried for treason! O

Maybe a correlation between pub goers and lack of concern for others? Dunno. There's probably a thesis in there somewhere

Where did the 10pm closing come from? Not Scientists or Behavioural experts.

There's some info available in an obscure corner of the NHS website but it should be getting more publicity

Because shielding brings in no money to the government coffers

Because there is less time for us all to get pissed up now. partysover

Or child trafficking

Simple-Beacuse the Government places economic recovery before the care of vunerable citizens

Pub life matters

gradual sharia ..

too right! its cos they have tills

His pal owns Wetherspoons

This is a test case to see if they can get away with it in England. Is this how you want to live. Shutting down the NHS with 450 cancer deaths a day, treatment delayed. Isn't it time that the Guardian started fighting to stop this country descending into fascism?

The sad state of society....everything is about drinking. Have a birthday, funeral, birthday, day out, etc etc and it has to be about alcohol. We live in a sad culture

I thought the same. No mention of testing either in his speech. What about theatres, music venues etc. They are still not open and no different than being sat in a pub.

What's wrong with showing a little respect for the situation that we find ourselves in by clearing the drunks who want to stroll down the road shouting and singing at silly o' clock in the Morning. Good Move BorisJohnson It's a Long Road to Tipperary.

because people care more about getting on with their lives

Because Britain is a nation of alcoholics.

I welcome the Pub's shutting at 10. Hope they will keep it up after Covid. If they lowered the drinks prices the Pub industry could benefit from early closing.

Coz locking up old and vulnerable people is not an option

How else are you going to get to 50,000 new coronavirus infections/day? Not by staying home and getting drunk, that's for sure!

No more lockdowns belikesweden

One of THE most dangerous places on the planet to live because of his administration's incompetence yet you would hardly know it reading the press.

Life on the UK island with no coronavirus casesOne shop, one pub and just 150 residents Rathlin Island, off the coast of Northern Ireland, hasn't reported a single coronavirus case Now people are gonna go there and bring it.. they should have kept this a secret smh.. The subliminal takeaway is after the media spins the 'confusion' story over having rules for different places, they then point out a one rule doesn't fit all story. What a shambles of unhelpful spin for entertainment our media is. Never explain information just spin controversy Herd immunity
