their deaths were linked to called to not covid, let's put it that way. it's understood they contracted covid after being admitted to hospital with other illnesses was obviously incredibly concerning that you go into a hospital to be treated for wanting and then catch covid and with tragic consequences. they quote a couple of mps including the former health secretary who says this actually strengthens the case for mandatory tax occasion to the mass vaccination for front line staff at the nhs bosses are incredibly concerned about the impact of that. it may be led to staff shortages. if you are a patient or a relative of a patient going to the hospital you won't be absolutely to certain that your loved one or yourself is getting care from somebody who is less likely to pass it on to you. jonathan, i should

less likely to pass it on to you. jonathan, ishould imagine less likely to pass it on to you. jonathan, i should imagine the freedom of information cases are used, request sunak request rather, are used a lot byjournalism nowadays is it relatively easy to get information of this kind or is it something that takes quite a lot of time? it it something that takes quite a lot of time? . . it something that takes quite a lot of time? u, . ~ . it something that takes quite a lot of time? u, ., ~ ., ., ., of time? it can take a lot of time. there is legislation _ of time? it can take a lot of time. there is legislation in _ of time? it can take a lot of time. there is legislation in place - of time? it can take a lot of time. there is legislation in place which i there is legislation in place which means_ there is legislation in place which means if— there is legislation in place which means if you submit a request the organisation that you're speaking to should _ organisation that you're speaking to should provide you with the information and some of them do that _ information and some of them do that some — information and some of them do that. some organisations either play around _ that. some organisations either play around with the rules a little bit or simply— around with the rules a little bit or simply don't provide the information and kind of dare you to make _ information and kind of dare you to make a _ information and kind of dare you to make a complaint about them. it is a very valuable tool that journalists can usa — very valuable tool that journalists can usa i— very valuable tool that journalists can use. i think this is a an example— can use. i think this is a an example of the freedom of information working the way it's intended — information working the way it's intended. it seems the telegraph but it together some very important information this way. information that miaht information this way. information that might be _ information this way. information that might be useful— information this way. information that might be useful when - information this way. information that might be useful when we - information this way. information i that might be useful when we finally get the promised public inquiry

appeared. he was a bit like ts eliot it's may cavity. the prime minister would be slightly daft to stand up a4 opposition debate, is not that uncommon for prime ministers not to be there for our position day debates was up what is your reading of the criticism of borisjohnson, the government over the last seven days? the government over the last seven da s? ~ ., ., , ., days? what i found interesting today was obviously _ days? what i found interesting today was obviously there _ days? what i found interesting today was obviously there was _ days? what i found interesting today was obviously there was a _ days? what i found interesting today was obviously there was a lot - days? what i found interesting today was obviously there was a lot of - was obviously there was a lot of heat and rhetoric from the opposition side. but actually there was an awful lot of criticism within the tory ranks itself. asjonathan mentioned, mark harper the former chief web for the conservative party said that borisjohnson it really should have been there. you also had mark fletcher who is one of the 2019 errors, the so—called red bollards, one of the new intake and he stood

up one of the new intake and he stood up and made a very powerful speech, i thought. he's actually a member of the standards committee. he talked about how important that committee is and how difficult it is to sit on that committee because you are sitting injudgement on that committee because you are sitting in judgement on your fellow mp. it's quite a task and not everybody wants to do it. some mps did a bit today. he said look, this is a really important process, you have to do it. he said that 0wen patterson would've begged to rise evenif patterson would've begged to rise even if it was a different system in place. even though he's only been there for two years and he's been told by some fellow mps only been here two years, you don't really know how this plays work. he said two years is long enough to know right from wrong. i thought it was a incredibly powerful intervention. very powerful probably won't have made him a lot of friends. ijust want to pick that point up, actually with you jonathan, do you have a

sense yet of how this is playing in birmingham and maybe in the west midlands, black country and stuff like that? and some of the towns they turned in 2019, we talk a lot about the red wall in the north of england but there was some in the midlands. i think of a place like dudley when announced they would back, conservative. nota constituency that back, conservative. not a constituency that you back, conservative. nota constituency that you would not have thought of his tory leaning in the past. thought of his tory leaning in the ast. �* , ,., , thought of his tory leaning in the ast. ~,, , .,�* thought of his tory leaning in the ast. , , ., �* ., thought of his tory leaning in the ast, �* , , ., �* ., ., ., past. absolutely. you've heard a lot of marginal — past. absolutely. you've heard a lot of marginal seats _ past. absolutely. you've heard a lot of marginal seats which _ past. absolutely. you've heard a lot of marginal seats which have - past. absolutely. you've heard a lot of marginal seats which have been l of marginal seats which have been changing _ of marginal seats which have been changing hands. not all of a sudden has the _ changing hands. not all of a sudden has the 2019 but slowly switching from labour to tory sense 2005 or so, really — from labour to tory sense 2005 or so, really. including places like dudley— so, really. including places like dudley and warsaw too. the big question— dudley and warsaw too. the big question with an issue like this is weather— question with an issue like this is weather it's going to cut through as the saying — weather it's going to cut through as the saying goes, whether or not

somebodies face. it's not a comparable case, it's a different case but the point being that parliament is a microcosm of society and so you do get wrong on all sides. it's quite difficult for any party to stand up and be confident that none of the heirs have done anything wrong. nevertheless, he still had to get out there and capitalise on this was up is a leader of the opposition and that is hisjob. i think he had to go hard on this today. his job. i think he had to go hard on this today-— on this today. we've got another lovely story _ on this today. we've got another lovely story on — on this today. we've got another lovely story on the _ on this today. we've got another lovely story on the front - on this today. we've got another lovely story on the front of - on this today. we've got another lovely story on the front of the i lovely story on the front of the guardian. we will all feel some slight nervesjust guardian. we will all feel some slight nerves just reading, i think. the story about how we all need to go to bed a bit earlier.— the story about how we all need to go to bed a bit earlier. sam, do you want to tell — go to bed a bit earlier. sam, do you want to tell us _ go to bed a bit earlier. sam, do you want to tell us about _ go to bed a bit earlier. sam, do you want to tell us about that? - go to bed a bit earlier. sam, do you want to tell us about that? i'm - want to tell us about that? i'm really concerned about this because i did try to go to bed earlierfor a
