The more I think about this it's a stroke of genius for Keir. A second national lockdown is near inevitable, with the CMO saying Tier 3 won't be enough in all instances. Boris hasn't ruled out a second national lockdown - so if/when we get there - and the science says we would have less deaths had we done so one week/two weeks earlier, Keir is laughing all the way to the next election.

A national lockdown explicitly pits Boris against members of his own party who are against further restrictions and aligns him with the Opposition. It makes it harder for him to get a lock down accepted in his own party whilst at the same time his scientific advisers will probably gain confidence in advocating one again. Great move.

I understand Cumbria has issued warnings for fans venturing across the border to see the Old Firm Derby in a pub - the rule of six applies. That's probably a luxury compared to drinking outside in rather fresh air and no screens.
