“We now face a summer of venue closures and reduced service, when we should be at a seasonal peak. The sector will do all it can to provide great service, but it will be with one hand tied behind our back.” - UK Hospitalit­y chief Kate Nicholls after hospitalit­y staff were left off the list of critical workers exempt from self-isolation. “There could be a case for it at business conference­s, including possibly party conference­s where you have large numbers of people indoors. We haven’t ruled that out but we are working through this.” Environmen­t Secretary George Eustice suggests vaccine passports may be required to gain entry to the Conservati­ve Party conference.

“I am satisfied that certain grounds when considered separately or together give rise to plausible allegation­s that there was a real prospect of preventing the Omagh bombing.” - Mr Justice Horner recommends the government carries out an investigat­ion into the atrocity. “Over the past 18 months I have seen officers punched, stabbed, shot, and ridiculed ,attempting to implement confusing, rushed and ambiguous legislatio­n, in order to protect the public and, rightly, the NHS, only to be ignored when it comes to a pay settlement. The announceme­nt today of a 0% pay increase for police officers is an insult.” - Nick Adderley, Chief Constable of Northampto­nshire Police. “We will not allow key services to be threatened by staff shortages, but equally we must continue to protect public health.” - Nicola Sturgeon announces key workers in critical roles in Scotland will be able to avoid self-isolation.
