Still not willing to say what needs to be said.
Sir Keir said: "Everybody wants children back in school. There is nobody that would argue with that. Of course that's what we all want.
"It's inevitable more schools will close.
"I don't want to call for the closure of schools tomorrow morning and add to the chaos.
"But we do need to recognise that it is inevitable that more schools will close, and we need a plan in place to deal with it."
Seems to add around 0.5 to the r rate m.Interesting that my adopted city of liverpool's council has called for a national lockdown but has also stated all schools will remain open and supported....
....maybe a reflection of the success in dramatically bringing rates down last time around from 700+ whilst schools were open....
We really need some more data on this new variant.....how much more transmissible is it really.....is this latest surge really down to that or just a combo of peoples covid rule fatigue (ive witnessed loads) plus the consistent govt. mis-management and missed opportunities?
Sorry JH this thread on twitter.

He’s said fuck all as usual.
EDIT - I’ll amend that. What he said about national restrictions is right actually - but today’s pressing matter is schools and he’s bottled it again.
Erm... it’s not fucking possible is it?How has he bottled it? He's called it spot on. No one wants to close schools and they should remain open if possible but we need a plan to deal with the fact we are going to have to close them down.
Erm... it’s not fucking possible is it?
No ifs, No buts.....
Which is probably only the Isles of Scilly right now.In some places it maybe, no if's no buts
If you can keep some schools open in some areas then you should every fucking day of the week. It's morally wrong not to.

Would you send a teenager to a house party of 30 for 6 hours in this climate?
That's a terrible analogy, are the same conditions present in both situations? Is the behaviour of said teenagers going to be the same?
No
Won’t be long until the schools themselves make the call, if they’re not already.
Is that earlsdon shmmee?My daughters primary already has. Not enough staff willing to come in to open.
Is that earlsdon shmmee?
It’s the right call all round.Yep. Got an email about an hour ago.
This has echoes of the March lockdown. We just need the footballers to refuse to play, and it's deja vu all over again.

There were 79k infections by specimen date on 29th Dec as it stands, it's generally accurate after 5 days or so, tomorrow should confirm final number.55000 new infections
454 deaths - got to be one of the largest Sunday figures ever.
I’m sure Boris is correct though optimism will get us through this
The first lockdown was like thatI think it will ultimately be taken out of this Gov'ts hands.
It will be common sense from parents, teachers etc.
He's said that schools should remain open hasn't he? Because he stupidly came out with that "no ifs, no buts" stuff in the summerBut but he never says again and just agrees with the Government
Page 1 of Safeguarding says ‘keeping children safe in education’ - right now it’s not possible to do so.In the end of you can keep schools open you should. I know it is shit and they must be horrible places to work at the moment but as has been said many times it's the lesser of many evils.
So you'd think they'd learn.It should echo the March lockdown, the numbers are similar!
lol it’s really not that radical - it’s a service not a machine for profit and many conservative leaning countries have a nationalised railway system
Incredible
