If you remember back in mid-December:

The good news is with schools closures in Tier 4 London but not in the rest of England when the data confirms that school closures have a significant impact on transmission the North can once again ask why they were abandoned by the Government who are managing the pandemic to suit London.

London gets 80% furlough, (often) national restrictions, left in Tier 2 despite having figures above Manchester going into Tier 3 and now school closures.

If London returns to Tier 2/3 while the North are left to Tier 4 I'm sure that'll go down well.
