//A health secretary should at least be healthy, otherwise it's a poor example to the rest of us// That's got to take pride of place as the daftest answer of the year.

It’s a bit of a disaster politically.
The fully vaccinated Health Secretary goes down with the virus two days before “freedom day”. Casting doubt inevitably on the efficacy of the vaccines (tho hopefully not deterring people from having them), added to the rising alarm about rising deaths and hospital admissions.
I’m a bit torn here: on the one hand I want restrictions eased but it honestly feels now like it would have been better to wait until the end of September which I believe is the target for full vaccination.
Otherwise there’s a danger they’ll have to do what they said they wouldn’t: go into reverse.
It does look like Johnson is scared of his own backbenchers, many of whom apparently will not tolerate any more delay.

> You’re part of the problem, ellipsis, because you’ve been fooled into the belief that me choosing not to wear a mask, because I won’t be compelled to, is purring you at risk.
Two questions:
1) who has fooled me into that belief?
2) why is that belief a problem, if I'm still going out, still spending money, still doing everything you're doing, just wearing a mask while doing it?

It's possible that there were mixed messages, but the fact remains that this morning there was a clear understanding and a statement to the effect that the PM and Chancellor would not self-isolate.

are you sure, naomi?
///This must be one of the fastest government U-turns ever: 157 minutes after saying the PM and chancellor wouldn't be isolating, Downing Street decided they would.///

If you look at the Guardian's live feed, at 10.05(am) everyone's still talking about them not isolating (and that was definitely on the BBC website on my computer). The U-turn comes at 10.47.
