If Redwood thinks theres going to be some sort of high st red letter day round the corner followed by a return to consumerism for the sheeple hes wrong. For many lockdown has been an exercise in denial and if they're anything like me theres something to be said for it. I've virtually stopped drinking dropped nearly 2 stones, and found I can fill a day doing absolutely fk all & spending no money,....its great!

Remember project fear days and the exodus that we were told would occur from City of London if we left EU. Not looking good in EU land now. Sturgeon still thinks Scotland better off in an EU in decline though. The EU will look after Scotland Nicola.

Tax rises are the last thing the UK needs this yearJANUARY 24, 2021 POST A COMMENTGovernment actions designed to limit the spread of the virus and reduce the burden on the NHS have done great damage to jobs, business and output. Knowing they would the government rightly made generous provision to subsidise employment, offer grants and loans to businesses, and increased benefits to people to sustain demand. This naturally led to colossal borrowing by the state and to the effective nationalisation of large parts of the economy from private hospitals to the railways.The Treasury now rightly says we cannot go on with the excessive borrowing and very high levels of state spending needed during lock down. They should add that state borrowing will fall rapidly as soon as lock down is removed and a decent economic recovery is allowed and encouraged. A large number of people who have kept their better paid  jobs and been on full pay throughout the last year have money to spend as soon as they are allowed to buy services that entail face to face encounters. Many businesses will soon be back with revenue in the tills and staff on overtime again. As this happens so the amount the state spends on benefits, grants, loans and cushioning of the lockdown diminishes. So also tax revenue soars as people pay VAT on services again, income tax on earnings and transaction taxes.The last thing we need is new taxes or rises in tax rates. In  order to promote recovery the Treasury should be thinking about lower rates and fewer taxes. We need a big expansion of business capacity. The danger is we lose a generation of entrepreneurs, of people working for themselves or running small businesses, as a result of the lockdowns. The  most energetic will of course flourish again, but we need to create conditions where the average, the not so highly motivated, those worried about risk taking are persuaded enterprise is for them and the odds are favourable to setting up and running a successful business.The only way to get the deficit down to sensible levels and to slash additional borrowing is to promote a strong and rapid recovery. We need to be doing that from early in the new financial year, so that we just put behind us one year of huge state borrowings. Tax rises will delay and impede recovery, and will put off that new generation of businesses and self employed we will badly need to lead us out of additional debt..... John Redwood

Exclusive: Five million vaccinated Britons told to carry on 'as if you have the virus' by Jonathan Van-Tam

Deputy Chief Medical Officer warns that a change of behaviour could still spread the virus, with UK hospitals struggling to cope

CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

The millions of people who have already been vaccinated against coronavirus must keep following the rules or they risk prolonging lockdown, the deputy chief medical officer warns today.

In an exclusive article for The Telegraph, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said it was vital people did not change their behaviour because they can still spread the virus.

The Government has so far put the jabs into the arms of 5.8 million people, and today vaccinated a record 478,248 people in just one day.

Prof Van-Tam stressed scientists “do not yet know the impact of the vaccine on transmission of the virus”. He writes: “So even after you have had both doses of the vaccine you may still give Covid to someone else and the chains of transmission will then continue.

“If you change your behaviour you could still be spreading the virus, keeping the number of cases high and putting others at risk who also need their vaccine but are further down the queue."

He warns hospitals still have "very high" numbers of admissions, with a quarter of people receiving treatment under the age of 55.

Seems to me that if you get covid you may become poorly. You may end up in hospital. You may be in an ICU. You may die. Under the current modus operandum if you get cancer you are dead. End of.

PO
Politics is the peddling of the amoral for the justification of their existence.
The NHS is just a denier of their ability to provide the heath care needs they are funded to provide for the sake of the silly money paid to the boards for failure.
Good news EH!
How we have progressed - the greedy became greedier - fuk the rest.
