“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.
