There should be no bargaining regarding planned restrictions anywhere in the UK, but I'm afraid the pandemic and the resultant presure on the NHS is becoming a bit of a sideshow to the financial side and political muscle.
Boris has lost all semblance of control and therefore any minimal respect he had left.
Agree with this. The government offered 60m to Manchester, Burnham wants 65m, all the while the citizens of Manchester are the ones who suffer because politicians are trying to score points off each other!!
Like everyone else I am tired of dealing with Covid, you guys should try dealing with a pandemic during an election, but we cannot shut down whole economies again and again, the damage that will do is unmeasurable. This tiered approach is the same sort as the one that is showing positive results here in California when compared to the rest of the US states. The way it is calculated has to be clear and succinct and there should be no exceptions given. If you want to move the needle in the right direction then the whole of society has to take part and follow the basic rules, if not then none of it will work.
