“All of this is incredibly tough – and six months on, it only gets tougher. Though it doesn’t feel like this now, this pandemic will pass. It won’t last forever and one day, hopefully soon, we will be looking back on it, not living through it”

Sturgeon.

“As a result of this measure, we foresee a surge of unregulated events and house parties which are the real hotbeds of infection, attended by frustrated young people denied access to safe and legitimate nighttime hospitality venues”

- Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association, after a 10pm curfew was announced for pubs, bars and

restaurants.

“Never again will Labour go into an election not being trusted on national security, with your job, with your community and with your money. That’s what being under new leadership means”

- Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.

“Most people think of a pub, a vision from their youth, people dancing, loud music and raucous behaviour. Most pubs are not like that and no pub when operating social distancing is like that”

Martin.

“I really don’t think commercial theatre can survive unless the Government does now step up to the plate and give it a little bit of help” - Andrew Lloyd Webber.
