Conservatives rebel

The COVID Diaries – 223 27th November

A row is raging among Tory back bench MPs about the data underlying the decision-making that led to 99% of England’s population being placed in the top two tiers, with strict limits on socialising.

The Prime Minister has promised an analysis of the impact of the tiers approach before MPs vote next Tuesday’s vote on the revised rules and has also committed to reviewing the tiers on 16 December. He has also made it clear that he has no intention to change the system.
