#COVIDFREED­OM

Former prime minister Tony Blair has said it is "time to distinguis­h for the purposes of freedom" between people who have and have not received a Covid-19 jab

@bowdenj75 relied – Great idea and incentive, no jabs no travel, no jabs getting into enclosed venues

@Dalbideu added – The fourth wave of the same Covid arguments? I believe at the very start if we adopted the Blair proposal to form a cross-party, pansector, pan-science group to manage the pandemic we would have saved many lives. But the alpha male variant saw an ‘opportunit­y’ for political gain…

@Juliepowna­ll posted – If you condemn someone for the mistakes they made in the past and think their opinion isn't worth anything, then I hope you apply this to this current government in future years.

@owlsninete­en91 said

– Why people are so concerned with folk that haven’t had the jabs if they have had both jabs is beyond me.

@anyotherle­ader replied – Does this guy realise he isn't prime minister anymore? Not an MP anymore. He needs to give it up and get another hobby. Imagine

Theresa May still popping up every week in 2033 telling us what we need to do, it would be bizarre. Let it go Tony.

#ANDREWMARR

Health minister Matt Hancock and former Downing Street adviser Dominic Cummings were interviewd on the BBC TV poliotics show

@Joe_s_dot claimed – Matt Hancock claiming “I built” Covid testing capacity on #andrewmarr showed an astonishin­g lack of humility, grace and gratitude for the work of others.

@phildampie­r joked – Having read today's papers and watched the first five minutes of #Andrewmarr I can't decide whether to get back under the covers or slash my wrists. Am I allowed to say that?

@Lexham_1 reckond – Why does Matt Hancock keep banging on (on The Andrew Marr Show) about the AZ being delivered “at cost” like that somehow makes everything ‘fine’, rather than looking at the bigger picture!

@c7arg on a different note, said – Not always a fan, but ‘hats off ’ to Bob Geldof on Andrew Marr this morning when talking about the proposed cut to UK overseas aid - “This is not who we are” - well said!
