i don't know if the daily mail is in the right place on i point. mps, asked tory mps to vote with the science, to vote for covid passports. so ijust think the daily mail is trying to look for a story here that in reality is not there. and let's watch out, in a few days' time, he may be standing at the lectern again looking to impose some more restrictions on what we can do. this is moving so fast, it's moving clearly faster than a scientist can keep up with it. and of course the scientists are having to inform our political leaders. and everywhere. ijust think to inform our political leaders. and everywhere. i just think that the daily mail is trying to kind of divide and rule in a way that's not really very helpful right now. let’s really very helpful right now. let's move from — really very helpful right now. let's move from the _ really very helpful right now. let's move from the daily _ really very helpful right now. let's move from the daily mail - really very helpful right now. let's move from the daily mail onto our next paper, the telegraph

i wrote a similar story in the daily mail- a similar story in the daily mail for tomorrow and it does benjamin mentioned are really quite against having more restrictions. it's rather the point to me made that they are rather running out of time to recall parliament because a number of things and to be got through so need the data and then you then need to cabinet to come to some kind of conclusion on that data as to what restrictions should be brought forward. we know the cabinet are rather at war about what if any restrictions should be brought. there is a bit of a ruckus over plan b alone so further than that will be very tricky. then you have to have about 40 hours for profit to be recalled to get all of the relevant people and notjust mps back their place. so looking pretty unlikely i think for new year's eve restrictions but it does not mean though that we are completely out of the woods so could be restrictions into january and i think benjamin makes a really good point as well of that one government source made a point to me that post—christmas wrapping off of mandate effect i
