we can speak now to the conservative mp tobias ellwood, whose own bournemouth constituency will be movednk you forjoining us on bbc news. before i get to what you think about the tier system and current and potential rules in the future, can you tell us a bit more about what has been happening in your constituency, both in terms of infections and also the impact on livelihoods? here in dorset, in my constituency, we entered lockdown with pretty low numbers, and departed lockdown with even lower numbers. the last couple of weeks of data, we have seen cases dropped by a third, so we were absolutely baffled as to why we ended up in tier 2. the hospitality industry across the country, but particularly in places like dorset, where it is very much relied on for the economy, has been severely hit, and they were looking forward to this christmas build up to be able to make amends. there has been great economic intervention by the chancellor but i'm afraid we have come to the tipping point where many businesses will close. there is a recognition, the prime minister is very clear, we can't throw a
