with a surge in demand from uk holiday—makers taking trips between different parts of the country. as with many of today s papers, the daily mail has a picture of borisjohnson and carrie symonds on their wedding days. but the main report is on how patients are having to wait two years for hip and knee operations. the guardian meanwhile leads with news that dozens of schools have been built using combustible insulation since the material was banned on high—rise apartment blocks after the grenfell tower disaster. the daily telegraph claims that plans to make covid—i9 passports a legal requirement for large events are set to be dropped by the government. so, let's begin. uk passport plans to be scrapped was just a month back that he was

normal as possible. getting close and personal, drinking, and actually they found almost no one, covid—i9 efforts to stop the plans, if they had the test, god to act normally and it was very low office of the best way to go for it was to actually try and keep the infection rate as low as possible but get people to act as normal as possible. rather than go for the vaccine passport route which was very unworkable and involved a lot of technology. the best way forward was to try and vaccinate people is responsible and that seemed to work a lot better because the other route was trying an app and try and get people to essentially change their social life that way and i'm one of the rare people who is under 35 who had both injections and i was

looking at this and thinking, my essentially going to have to try to get all my friends who are over 60 to come to the pub.— to come to the pub. don, “ust on that, and — to come to the pub. don, “ust on that, and article i to come to the pub. don, “ust on that, and article does _ to come to the pub. don, just on that, and article does make - to come to the pub. don, just on that, and article does make the l that, and article does make the point that the sources, there nothing to stop individual companies or venues requiring people to have this provide the fact that it's not discriminatory and those medically cannot have the injection, theory they could still do this? milli cannot have the injection, theory they could still do this?— they could still do this? will be ve rare they could still do this? will be very rare that _ they could still do this? will be very rare that a _ they could still do this? will be very rare that a company - they could still do this? will be very rare that a company will. very rare that a company will actually do that and exactly as you say, it will be very difficult for a company to prove that it is not discriminatory because all it will take us one or two people to turn around and try to take him to court and say it is discriminatory and there is still a reason why they can't have the vaccine.-

there is still a reason why they can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, — can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, raced _ can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, raced to _ can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, raced to the _ can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, raced to the jab - can't have the vaccine. since ron covid-19, raced to the jab over . can't have the vaccine. since ronj covid-19, raced to the jab over 15 covid—i9, raced to the jab over 15 spiked to 21st. tending to the timetable for freedom they were all of the legal restrictions would be lifted. , ., , of the legal restrictions would be lifted. , . , ., ., , lifted. they are trying to get as many peeple — lifted. they are trying to get as many people double _ lifted. they are trying to get as many people double jab - lifted. they are trying to get as many people double jab as - lifted. they are trying to get as - many people double jab as possible. after israel, we are probably the country where we are moving as fast as possible and getting as many people as possible and so the government or focusing on vaccine hesitancy and that doesn't seem to be very much vaccine hesitancy at all and it is scotland that they're focusing on trying to get as many people as possible because there's some hotspots there and looks like we're on course to vaccinate as many people as possible and keep on track after he had so people die and so is

all of her views to be aware, this is the route out of covid—i9 and it does look as though we are on track and the government is very aware of that and we need to keep the public aware that this is the best way forward in this the best way forward, even as we are nervous about variance and anything that may throw us off course. in about variance and anything that may throw us off course.— throw us off course. in theory, the variance would _ throw us off course. in theory, the variance would be _ throw us off course. in theory, the variance would be why _ throw us off course. in theory, the variance would be why he - throw us off course. in theory, the variance would be why he wouldn't live restrictions on the 25th of june and even though for example, thailand is saying that they have a new variant that is not the indian variant or the kent variant. the test, variant or the kent variant. the test. imply _ variant or the kent variant. the test. imply that _ variant or the kent variant. the test, imply that they were taking

westminster cathedral except for the big issue where sunday papers were talking about it and we both know we spoke them a little earlier. just to leave that aside though, it is a great story and everyone loves a wedding, etc, etc. but when things turn into a story about the battle between terry simons and dominic cummings. i between terry simons and dominic cumminus. .,, ., , between terry simons and dominic cumminus. . , , , , . cummings. i was a bit surprised and we've seen — cummings. i was a bit surprised and we've seen enough _ cummings. i was a bit surprised and we've seen enough times _ cummings. i was a bit surprised and we've seen enough times talking - we've seen enough times talking about— we've seen enough times talking about dominic. without a doubt, he fought— about dominic. without a doubt, he fought a _ about dominic. without a doubt, he fought a battle with terry simons of downing _ fought a battle with terry simons of downing street but as far as i'm aware. — downing street but as far as i'm aware, that battle is under the influence — aware, that battle is under the influence that she had over appointments and the people who don't _ appointments and the people who don't know, the prime ministers new wife was _ don't know, the prime ministers new wife was a _ don't know, the prime ministers new wife was a of— don't know, the prime ministers new wife was a of communications and so did political— wife was a of communications and so did political player in the way no previous— did political player in the way no previous partner has been. the

wait two years for a hip operation. this is not good news for anyone who was on that waiting list for people who can be life changing treatment. and i think this is the beginning of what we will see coming out of lockdown. we have been in lockdown for essentially almost a year and a half now and coming out of lockdown, the nhs has focused away from covid—i9 and on to what is essentially been nonurgent treatment which will still have huge impacts on peoples lives and so, peoples operations that they would have been waiting for, knee and hip operations is what they're focusing on, we'll look at back operations and after knee and hip operations, we will then look at the fact that a lot of people will of been put off a lot of things they would've wanted to see the gps about specialists will

slowly get through the referrals and what they've been waiting for. a lot of people have been put on health anxiety and a lot of things that the will of been waiting to see and all of the poor doctors who have been waiting so long to get through these backlogs and slowly but surely have to go through this and essentially, the government will have to look at the government will have to look at the fact that they have been put into the nhs but the nhs will for years, still be clashing with follow—up from covid—i9 that want to scribble covid—i9, that will be about all other things that people put off. yeah, it will of a huge impact on peoples lives and quality of life. the guardian. some might see this as a scandal, potentially. it has not been collected by the paper but it will shock a lot of people. schools
