There does not yet seem to be a thread on the new tier system coming in on Wednesday (or is it Thursday) for England.
The large swathes of the country in tier 2 and 3 have caused considerable negative feedback and it appears MPs are finally listening. The government may have to concede that some areas should be moved down from 3 to 2 rather than the whole-county approach currently in effect. It is not yet clear whether this will be right away or at the first review, which is now slated for 16 December. Also, the new rules will have a sunset clause for 3 February, requiring a further Commons vote to extend it.
I can only hope the same attitude is displayed when the review of the face covering rule on public transport comes around – it’s due by 15 December.
