Sorry but leaving social distancing in place in pubs, restaurants, hotels and attractions means that June 21 is not freedom date at all - it means that those businesses continue to operate at a loss and threatens the long term viability of businesses, jobs and the recovery

60m customer visits a week over the summer post hospitality reopening - no impact on cases and no evidence from PHE of any link between cases and hospitality. World beating Covid secure protocols kept staff and customers safe and good to have this confirmed by Treasury

A lot of talk in media today about circuit breakers, lockdowns, Jan restrictions. Given we now have 50% triple jabbed and over 90% double vaccinated I struggle to understand why we are still using last years interventions - which we know delay at best & cause social/economic harm
