Nursing homes were last week’s excuse incidentally - this week, Sunday’s appalling vaccination rate is being blamed on “reporting lag”. Do try to keep up.

I don't pay attention to the minute detail because as I say it's generally a unionist press ruse and a clear tactic for the run up to the election
Publish exorbitant amounts of data every day, do it and we will criticise it as commercially sensitive. Thankfully most see through it and long term delivery is more important than whether you have out more doses on a Sunday than a Monday.
I think Scotland closing the border with England would cause a significant amount of civil unrest or disobedience from the unionists. Even last month as both Scotland and England had "stay at home" orders for people to stay near home or within their local authority areas it remained a talking point for one side of the fence that the border should stay open.
