As an aside, I notice Wales (which still requires masks) now has record case numbers, so thats obviously working well for them.

I’m not spinning anything - the language politicians use is important. It’s the difference between an “embarrassing climbdown” and “this was the plan all along”. I’m more than happy to revisit this at a later point rather than go round in circles.
Wales with masks having record numbers compared to Wales with masks plus restrictions greater than masks is completely unsurprising. Schools reopening without vaccination is having an affect all around the UK. If the rest of the UK follows Scotland where schools reopened first in August cases will come back down, but hospitalisations and deaths will remain high which is why the booster campaign is to important.
Across the UK the deaths figure reported today is the highest since March, and will likely be linked to case numbers 2/3 weeks ago. So pulling them back down slightly - due to half term in all likelihood - isn’t going to cut it.
