11:36 pm
is facing a difficult winter. cases are going up, hospitalisations are going up and we can expect that to continue with the impact from schools and universities is felt and obviously on top of covid we have got the winter illnesses. the typical winter pressures. but more intense this year when you think about their lack of immunity that we built up during lockdown. it is going to be an incredibly difficult winterfor going to be an incredibly difficult winter for the going to be an incredibly difficult winterfor the nhs. covid is obviously sort of the main show in town and this is about how the government are going to deal with that. borisjohnson is very keen to not bring in another lockdown. that is his ultimate aim and he is going down the line of boosterjabs and i'm sure we will discuss the fact that they are not going down a line of vaccine passport so he is keen to appease, i think, of vaccine passport so he is keen to appease, ithink, the of vaccine passport so he is keen to appease, i think, the backbenchers, side of his party. and he is basically said it is not going to be restrictions any more. it is going to be boosterjabs. whether that works or not, obviously, we are going to have to see. it is a bit of
11:37 pm
a gamble, really. rachel, speaking about the pressure coming from us backbenchers, you would hope the advice would be paramount coming from a scientist. that advice would be paramount coming from a scientist.— advice would be paramount coming from a scientist. that should be the most important _ from a scientist. that should be the most important thing. _ from a scientist. that should be the most important thing. it _ from a scientist. that should be the most important thing. it was - from a scientist. that should be the most important thing. it was quite l most important thing. it was quite surrisin: most important thing. it was quite surprising when — most important thing. it was quite surprising when i _ most important thing. it was quite surprising when i read _ most important thing. it was quite surprising when i read the - most important thing. it was quite l surprising when i read the telegraph story because there seems to be more detail— story because there seems to be more detail in— story because there seems to be more detail in the _ story because there seems to be more detail in the telegraph story boris johnson _ detail in the telegraph story boris johnson might do this week in relation — johnson might do this week in relation to taking countries of the red iists, — relation to taking countries of the red lists, scrapping pcr test for people — red lists, scrapping pcr test for people returning to the country who have been— people returning to the country who have been travelling which we had heard _ have been travelling which we had heard that — have been travelling which we had heard that had been beta some papers already— heard that had been beta some papers already end around the traffic light system _ already end around the traffic light system and changes that could be made _ system and changes that could be made quite significant changes to that travelling is well and it does seem _ that travelling is well and it does seem like — that travelling is well and it does seem like there's been a huge shift in position. — seem like there's been a huge shift in position, particularly over the weekend — in position, particularly over the weekend. and what pressure has led to that _ weekend. and what pressure has led to that i'm — weekend. and what pressure has led to that. i'm sure we will, to vaccine _ to that. i'm sure we will, to vaccine passports as liam noted there _ vaccine passports as liam noted there but— vaccine passports as liam noted there but one of the things was this was not _

11:40 pm
for nhs and social care. we know this is going down really badly with his backbenchers and some core support so that i don't think it that we are now seeing a sharp pivot when it comes to the winter plan and i think that is dangerous personally. i think is dangerous to it on politics was officially based on science and the big believers in a we are sorta waiting to see what happens next and we are in the hands of the tory politics so i think it is a risky time and i think it is a massive week. i think i'd be pretty worried if i was nhs doctor right now. we know they are under serious pressure and boosterjabs are bussed and we don't have the boosterjabs of the approved then it is a huge gamble. of the approved then it is a huge camble. ., ., gamble. returned to the front page ofthe gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that _ gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that we _ gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that we do _ gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that we do not _ gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that we do not hear - gamble. returned to the front page of the ft that we do not hear your | of the ft that we do not hear your take on this and the last edition. more mayors are needed in terms of tackling regional inequality according to robert generate. this

11:43 pm
says that the uk is possibly the third most expensive country when it comes to childcare costs in this massive survey of more than 20,000 working parents has basically said that the government is not doing enough to make childcare more affordable and more possible for people and you have got people saying it is costing them more than venting their mortgage and thatjust cannot be right and something more needs to be done about it. i think it is only accurate that's switzerland and more expensive than the uk. many european countries, i'm always sort of saying and referring to the nordic countries doing things better than us but they tend to. you put systems in those countries where you have state subsidised childcare and itjust allows people to progress. this report says these childcare costs are holding to medieval back. and ministers need to show more interest in this document date back issue.— show more interest in this document date back issue. when you compare to switzerland the _
