Ignore it.Just prolonging the agony then. If T3 comes, say, at the weekend, what do they do if the cases and hospital admissions falls significantly before then?

I'd rather stay in the UK TBH. It's just that I think they should pick whether they want to be independent or a full part of the union and stick with it.
Jonathan Van Tam also has the cool nickname of "Jay Vee Tee"

Are any other areas with a international airport in Tier 3?
Properly cringey when Boris says it....
A bit irritated there are public questions asking if a national lockdown would be appropriate, when the slides presented clearly show that infection rates are not a national problem.
This happens everywhere though around the world wherever there is a boundary or border. Someone has to be the ones on it. I seemed to remember in the first wave the BBC reported on a supermarket that sat across the Dutch/Belgium border (it runs through the store) and hence had at that time different rules depending on which side of the border (i.e. which country) you were from.This story highlights just how ridiculous this has all become
Coronavirus: 'Tier one ends at my garden wall'
The street split down the middle by the government's new coronavirus rules.www.bbc.co.uk
One lady comments that she will not see her granddaughter, even though they live on opposite sides of the same street, their homes are in different Tiers.
There’s no way I would comply in that situation
Boris Johnson says he wanted a deal but had to take action because of the urgency of the situation.
I had to laugh at this line:
So urgent that they spent a week arguing about money.
"No deal" is becoming a bit of a buzzword in numerous aspects of life, then!So for Manchester we have a "no deal" lockdown?
What an utter sh*tshow of a press conference
Johnson appears to be penalising the people of Manchester because Burnham stood up to him.

No different to many European borders where there used to be a border post in what was basically a residential street before free movement removed the need.
Isn't North Yorkshire (England's largest county by area) counted as one entity? So if there is an increase in cases in Scarborough or Whitby that could lead to restrictions in Skipton, Settle and Hawes? Not very logicial.
Reality is that a local outbreak in one place wouldn't register on the averaged out figures for the whole area.

Exactly if I was a newspaper editor I would already have the headline written for 4 or 5 weeks time "Burnham killed my (insert applicable relative)How exactly? They were destined for tier 3 anyway, it was even acknowledged by the likes of Burnham that they had to go that way.
Arguing over money for a week when an apparent 'urgent' crisis needed dealing with makes them both look incredibly stupid as far as i'm concerned.

Well I wouldn't quite go that far!
I understand the need to try and secure adequate funding for the people you represent. What I don't agree with is using it as leverage to delay measures until you get what you want, especially if the need is so urgent and much of the rhetoric is about taking swift action to save lives. Now they're calling Burnham #KingoftheNorth on social media, it baffles me.
I wonder if the cost of the delay will turn out to be more than the £5m they were squabbling over.

To say people are not happy with the situation in Manchester after these announcements is an understatement.
Will be interesting to see levels of compliance and if this leads to civil unrest. The Kaiser Chiefs I predict a riot is going round in my head right now.
