There seem to be strong rumours that Johnson will exempt 2,500 UEFA officials and VIPs from quarantining to keep the Euro finals in Wembley.
Now, surely even this government knows that this will go down like a lead balloon with citizens, so hopefully he will try to avoid a backlash by opening up much of Europe to the green list, especially given most countries have rates lower than ours now.
What rumours? They have been exempted.
UEFA threatened to move the finals to Budapest if the UK gov didn't let UEFA officials and sponsors in without restrictions.
As for the lead balloon, reaction to the BBQ and mingling at the G7 was pretty weak all things considered. I think this will be the same.
