england no longer has anything to fear. the government is giving strong signals that all legal restrictions around covid protection will end on the 19thjuly as we learn to live with the virus. the housing secretary robertjenrick said this morning that the public must start to exercise personal responsibility, including overfacemasks, rather than the government telling people what to do. from the cobbles of new york, a portrait of england wandering back to normal as a government suggests legal rules are likely to go in a fortnight. i legal rules are likely to go in a fortniuht. ~ �* , ., legal rules are likely to go in a fortniuht. ~ �*, . ., . fortnight. i think it's a fantastic idea. ithink— fortnight. i think it's a fantastic idea. i think is— fortnight. i think it's a fantastic idea. i think is necessarily - fortnight. i think it's a fantastic idea. i think is necessarily a . fortnight. i think it's a fantastic. idea. i think is necessarily a great idea. i think is necessarily a great idea. i think is necessarily a great idea. , , idea. i think is necessarily a great idea. ,.,,._ .,�* idea. i think is necessarily a great idea. , .,,._ ., �* ., idea. i probably won't wear it outside but _ idea. i probably won't wear it outside but i'll— idea. i probably won't wear it outside but i'll continue - idea. i probably won't wear it outside but i'll continue to i idea. i probably won't wear it i outside but i'll continue to wear it in shops— outside but i'll continue to wear it in shops and close spaces. |

government sounding confident? take a look at this graph. the number of coronavirus cases is going up, but look at this line too. the number of people ending up in hospital is not rising anywhere near as quickly. the link is utterly broken, there people have been vaccinated but this is severely weakened. of course the key aim now is to get as many people vaccinated before july the 19th. labour was a giver of rules too. it labour was a giver of rules too. it is important that if the qr codes are going — is important that if the qr codes are going to start, if the master going _ are going to start, if the master going to — are going to start, if the master going to come off, we are absolutely confident— going to come off, we are absolutely confident that this is the right thing — confident that this is the right thing to— confident that this is the right thing to do that the moment, a publishing this briefings for ministers, ratherthan the publishing this briefings for ministers, rather than the science behind _ ministers, rather than the science behind it — ministers, rather than the science behind it. ~ . behind it. the prime minister will exlain behind it. the prime minister will explain the _ behind it. the prime minister will explain the governments - behind it. the prime minister will. explain the governments thinking, its direction of travel and the next day or two. separate decisions will be made for scotland, wales or northern ireland. let's look at the
