“There’s no evidence that the virus is going to mutate specifical­ly to affect children. What may happen is as more and more people become immune to the virus through vaccinatio­n, is that the virus will try and get around that and try to escape the vaccine. That’s a normal process that viruses do so we expect that over time – which is why over time it may be necessary to update the vaccines, maybe every year or every couple of years” - The government’s chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.

“I think the detail is an absolute nightmare and, without being pedantic or negative, requires enormous scrutiny” - Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London, on vaccine passports.

“I usually get my hair cut once every week or once every 10 days so to go months and months without isn’t ideal” - Maxx Mann, one of the first people in Scotland to get a haircut after barbers reopened.

“It is crucial we send out a message to those responsibl­e that such behaviour cannot be tolerated. People deserve to feel safe within their own homes and be able to walk the streets without fear” - Chief Superinten­dent Darrin Jones condemns a night of violence in parts of Londonderr­y. “When I see black people in leadership in all walks of life, then we will be able to say – and I will happily say – that Britain can become a model country” - the Church of England’s first black female bishop, the Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, says Britain is not yet a model for other white-majority countries in terms of racial equality.
