Looks like The Sun once again has the exclusive on the change of rules. Christmas may see restrictions lifted for 5 days started December 24th.

(I initially thought it had been decided, it seems it's being 'looked at' instead)

Christmas will get the brucey bonus of school closures to bring down infections. Probably more than offsetting the what is temporarily permitted.

I think they have to be tested before they can leave uni. Ask to see proof of this before extending your hospitality. :D

Bit of a faux-pas by Toby Young (a leading non-believer in the severity of COVID).

At house Pierre we have already decided to flout the rules if they are in force. immediate family Parents, sisters, nieces will all be coming over for Christmas dinner as they do every year.

I suspect many other will be doing the same, which is why it is unenforceable and therefore the only sensible thing to do is pause any restrictions.

Good luck to the police for New Years eve as the given what the last year has been like the dawning of the new one will be celebrated.

50,000 of 5,000,000 is 1%.

50,000 x 100 = 5,000,000
