In different news, for whatever it is worth, there were no new deaths in Scotland over the past day.
Deaths in England 167

About effing time too.
Boris tells cafes, pubs, clubs, restaurants, nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres to close from tonight and not open tomorrow.
Why wait until now? Why condemn so many people to their deaths?
The chancellor is head and shoulders above Boris. Calm, clear, direct and setting the correct tone
