forget what we said about waiting to be contacted, if you have been missed, if you do not have an appointment, get in touch with the nhs. it does show you the position they're in. when matt hancock announced this today, it was generally very positive as he talked about uptake and even though the government had expected and hoped for a high update, so far in those top priority groups, it had exceeded what they had expected.— top priority groups, it had exceeded what they had expected. jackson, are these over 70s _ what they had expected. jackson, are these over 70s going _ what they had expected. jackson, are these over 70s going to _ what they had expected. jackson, are these over 70s going to be _ what they had expected. jackson, are these over 70s going to be the - these over 70s going to be the hardest ones to getjobs? we these over 70s going to be the hardest ones to get jobs? hardest ones to get “obs? we know there are certain — hardest ones to get jobs? we know there are certain groups _ hardest ones to get jobs? we know there are certain groups who - hardest ones to get jobs? we know there are certain groups who have l there are certain groups who have been _ there are certain groups who have been hard — there are certain groups who have been hard to reach you —— to get jabs _ been hard to reach you —— to get jabs yeah, _ been hard to reach you —— to get jabs yeah, i_ been hard to reach you —— to get jabs. yeah, ithink been hard to reach you —— to get jabs. yeah, i think that's exactly right _ jabs. yeah, i think that's exactly right but — jabs. yeah, i think that's exactly right. but the bigger picture is the government is very much on schedule to do— government is very much on schedule to do this _ government is very much on schedule to do this and will very quickly be moving _ to do this and will very quickly be moving onto the next groups, and

11:38 pm
even though we are going to be living with coronavirus for years to come, things are going better now and there is a reason to think this summer is going to be much better than anything we've had in the past year or so. you might say that's a low bar, but i think we are slowly getting to a point where we are going to do more things. as we keep hearing, it is the case that getting back to pure normality as we imagined it in 2019 is perhaps a step too far right now. i think a lot of people will be quite happy to be able to see their families, which should be achievable sooner rather than later. ~' ., should be achievable sooner rather than later. ,, ., ., than later. lockdown three, no second sequel _ than later. lockdown three, no second sequel was _ than later. lockdown three, no second sequel was ever- than later. lockdown three, no second sequel was ever any . than later. lockdown three, no i second sequel was ever any good. let's look at the guardian. johnson urged to tighten borders as variants threatened vaccine. you quite rightly corrected me and said this has been going on a year, jack.

11:41 pm
one to take over. i think the risk of the government runs as a field unlikely that scientific advice is the same, but i do think given the policy has been all over the place and has left many people confuse when the various changes come in, i think if the new variant does come in, perhaps we could be less forgiving of previous mistakes. i think generally on the border policy, the first lockdown when they started to tighten borders up, it was exactly when tory mps thought we should be relaxing things. we do have this point which if you are really so worried about the variants, surely you can have a tougher board policy or if you don't think they are so much to worry about, perhaps you don't need this half a —— halfway health policy. i do think we might start to here about tougher penalties when they do

11:44 pm
yes, i think we know the department for work and pensions, i think one thing officials worry about is a lot of people on universal credit as a result of the pandemic haven't actually had universal credit with this uplift. some of them will not know what the usual universal credit is. it's also about lots of families are stretch at the moment. there's a real worried that the situation could be worse because even if we get to the situation where there is a quicker bounce back, we still haven't reached peak unemployment and they don't expect that to happen perhaps until later in the year. in terms of the economic bite, we are not there yet. in a way, we are currently in... before the government takes up all the schemes. it's not about to get a lot better

the focus of showers. a few down east anglia, the south—east too, but more of you dry on wednesday, more of you see the sunshine. it's not going to do much to the temperatures, still struggling to get above freezing in some spots. another widespread, harsh frost, then, to take us into thursday. plenty of sunshine around for many, but increasing cloud into the west. signs of weather fronts trying to push in as the breeze picks up. signs of something milder trying to edge in as well, but do not underestimate the power of cold air across europe. it could hold off that charge of milder air from the west and could stay cold for many of us right the way through into next week. bye for now.
