Boris Johnson sets out a roadmap for the easing of lockdown restrictions in England.

@buddhaowl wrote: “This roadmap demonstrates that it has taken a year and many thousands of avoidable deaths for the PM to begin to comprehend and respond appropriately to the pandemic. Worst PM at worst possible time.”

@todhague asked: “I thought it was going to be phased and carefully considered

How is ‘all children at once, before parents and teachers have been vaccinated’

or ‘all shops at once, and get the beers in’ slow, careful or considered? The vaccine rollout has been brilliant, why risk it now?”

@muldymuffin99 worried: “This is disaster. We’ve basically given up on suppression and trying to prevent vaccine escape. Wait for the deaths and lockdown 4...”

@carolinebcn3 moaned: “In fact, there is no change to lockdown rules except for children. What a disaster.”

@steviepeters19 tweeted: “Can't believe the amount of people celebrating being able to meet up with someone outside for a virus with over 99% survival rate.” @birobasher wrote: “No staggered return of schools? That's a recipe for a higher R rate.”

#DAFTPUNK

After nearly 30 years, French music duo Daft Punk announced their retirement via video.

@nunzz84 added: “Electronic music would’ve been a whole lot different without Daft Punk. Definitely going to miss them, but thank you guys for everything.”

@lone1183canada tweeted: “Meh Daft Punk suck, and have done for a long time.”

@rusticmusic wrote: “Why didn’t they just pass the helmets to someone else?”

Itsqk added: “Wow, I'm just blown away – they really changed the way of music and it's come to an end.

T hey will be remembered forever!”

@fluffyfrostfury said: “May the funky beats live on in our souls.”

@trogdor645 said: “Nile Rodgers and Pharrell carried that last album so it's not like we're losing anything except two French dudes slapping their name on other people's work.”
