Bella Wallersteiner: The silent majority now wants a return to pre-pandemic normality

Renewing the Coronavirus Act again would suggest that the Government has lost confidence in its vaccination programme.

Let’s look at how to reduce the need to put people in care homes. Not just who should pick up the bill.

“Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” Here is my five point plan.

The Government is not making a good case for vaccine passports in nightclubs

It seems to be primarily about incentivising people to get jabbed – but ministers can’t say so, and the result is unconvincing bluster.

Andrew RT Davies: Voters deserve a full, separate inquiry into the Welsh Government’s handling of Covid-19

Mark Drakeford and his ministers are never slow to demand more powers, but seem much less keen on proper accountability.

WATCH: Fox – ‘They need to take responsibility – it can’t just be about what the government does’

He says that that while he will continue to wear a mask in certain situations, he agrees responsibility needs to be handed back to people.

Raghib Ali: Freedom Day – why not unlocking now means delaying indefinitely

There comes a point where lockdown is only delaying an inevitable exit wave, not preventing it. This is the right time for ‘step four’.

WATCH: Jenrick says people need to ‘use their judgment’ after freedom day

‘If I was asked to wear a mask when catching the tram in Wolverhampton and those were the rules, I would certainly wear a mask.’

Our survey. Party members overwhelmingly back scrapping ‘all lockdown restrictions’ on July 19.

But with the Prime Minister digging in on testing and isolating in schools, can we be sure this will actually happen?

Emily Carver: Many scoffed at the claim it will be hard to regain our freedoms. Yet Ministers show no sign of handing them back.

If vaccinating the most vulnerable won’t allow us to get back to life as normal, what will?

Philip Davies: If freedom is curtailed, there should be proof it’s necessary. Where’s the evidence for state-enforced mask-wearing?

The studies that Public Health England cited offered limited evidence of their effectiveness outside clinical settings.

WATCH: “We have to be cautious and look at the data,” says the Vaccine Minister

Zahawi adds: “Are infection rates too high for us to proceed? I don’t know the answer yet. But I hope we will know it on June 14th.”

WATCH: Cummings – Hancock ‘should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things, including lying to everybody’

MPs then ask him whether or not members of the Government should be worried about ‘corporate manslaughter charges’.

Robert Ede: Another brick in the wall? Investment in healthcare could be central to levelling up

From hospitals to town centre clinical hubs, new infrastructure will show voters that the Government is serious.

Greg Smith: The proposed ban on ‘junk food’ advertising needs an urgent rethink

Businesses and producers should not be punished as a result of a hasty and ill-thought-out campaign to tackle childhood obesity.

WATCH: Cooper – ‘I don’t think that this possible to be lifting the restrictions’

The Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee says relaxing travel rules, “at a time when we’ve got so many new variants”, would be unwise.
