This is the thing though - decision making around school closures and what tier areas go into isn't left to the local authorities themselves.
It'd be quite interesting to see who would do what if it was - assuming of course they are all entitled to London furlough and not Manchester furlough.

Will close them from next week? Who knows, would seem pretty pointless by then to just shut them for a week.
No I’m afraid that ship looks to have sailed now.

You can be "afraid that ship looks to have sailed now" as much as you please however one thing I find reassuring is that when Boris says something, or Hancock or anyone else, it's no guarantee that there won't be a U-turn. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but it's absolutely inevitable. And when they close it will be for longer.
The good news is he can't hide behind "following the science". When huge swathes of the country are in Tier 4 until Easter it's because the Government put schools at all costs above everything else.
