Prime Minister to hold press conference at 16.00

Then again, they haven't seen 19 year olds dying have they ?

Essex is in the East of England and has been put into Tier 4, but three districts have been excluded.

We can’t even meet fir a distanced walk

What IS the matter with people ? Shouldn't they know without being told ?

Kent is in Tier4

Flights are still coming and going [shock ]
Are those coming in being tested ? I wonder !

London and the South East are tier 4, aren't they growstuff ?

Last minute u turns again. My local ( big as seen on TV) teaching hospital are doing Covid vaccinations for over 80s. Very few of those invited have turned up. They are putting out a call for anyone over 80 to come along. Why don’t they give the vaccine to the frontline healthcare workers?!

London and the south east that was tier 3

Scrap that! I found one. My area is staying in Tier 2, although I'm not really sure why.

Does anybody have a link to the areas which are going into Tier 4?

Back to washing the deliveries

If we can get any!

Peston saying that he’s heard that the new strain is spreading much more quickly amongst children. So schools remaining closed post Christmas is a high possibility.

Act as if you have the virus.

Very sensible advise.

Easy to know what not to do.

So no 5 days of Christmas in England with 3 bubbles.
Keep it short.
Keep yr Distance.

Critical & dangerous time. This new strain is 70% more transferable.

Why on earth isn't he closing bordersstopping flights etc? Surely if new strains are coming in from abroad then we need to keep anyone out who may be carrying it.We wanted to close our border earlier this year WM in all its wisdom said there IS no border ...maybe they need to realise there damn well is and it needs closed now.

Wales manages it, so isn't it up to your own politicians?

Is this new strain in south Wales?

All the lorry drivers stuck in Kent should keep to themselves otherwise they will spread to Europe.

Nothing is going to stop this spreading north. If they close shops in tier 4 idiots will just travel to the midlands.

ILOVECHEESE . What??

Time to toughen up all round.

He’s on now.

He is late again!

There's a new case every hour. It is serious.
