I’m crap at wording things well (that may already be apparent) but will ‘steal’ that text and email my MP. Will post the response here.
If you Google write to your MP, there are a couple of websites who have links and pre-prepared headers for all MP's.
To me it says they tried to trust areas like the north with a set of local rules to get it under control.... unfortunately these couldn’t be trusted with their social responsibility so we have all got to now suffer!
The press conference yesterday did make it clear that, at least according to the 4 different models they analysed, the reproduction rate is above 1 everywhere including the areas who haven't got a lot of infections at the moment. Meaning if you do nothing it gets bad real quick. Raab is still a knob
Every crisis Johnson has had in his private life, he has always seemed to run away from it and pass the buck. Looks like he is doing the same here.

Sir Bernard Jenkin” My interpretation of that is ‘thanks to covid I won’t reply’ But will wait and see what happens.
There we are Soph, as i said earlier they mirror todays society. I have to say Drakeford and my MP are spot on with comms, i don't always agree but there no feeling of being side swerved.
Would be a bit harsh to write him off just yet, not sure how long is considered acceptable to wait for a response ?
