I have been criticised by a family doctor on the grounds that a question I put to the PM in Parliament was ‘demoralising for NHS staff’.
I am at a loss as to how this could be the case.
The question to the PM was this:
“Pubs cannot compete with supermarkets for off-sales. Even within a household, people cannot play tennis or golf. Notwithstanding the assault on liberty and livelihoods, why are the regulations pervaded by a pettifogging malice?”
A fitness instructor‘s online class was interrupted by three police officers who were given an incorrect tip off saying she was breaking coronavirus restrictions.
CCTV footage shows eight people making a run for it after escaping through the fire exit. One woman can be seen with a towel covering her shoulders and treatment still on her roots.
Gwent Police found the tanning beds had recently been used and beauty treatments had been taking place.
A senior Conservative MP urged anti-vaccination campaigners to keep going with their fight against government restrictions and told them NHS capacity figures were being „manipulated“ to exaggerate the scale of coronavirus, Sky News can reveal.
Another burning question which will determine how gung-ho ministers can be with easing restriction is to what extent the vaccines stop people from spreading Covid.
The Government has commissioned a study to investigate the vaccines and their role on transmission, which is being overseen by Public Health England. It is focused on frontline healthcare workers who‘ve been jabbed.

The MPs also express concern about the government presenting statistics in a misleading way, and urge ministers to take care to maintain public confidence in them.
„There is nothing to fear from openness,“ said Tory MP Greg Clark, who chairs the committee.
Die EU sieht das anders: Man habe dem Unternehmen einen Vorschuss gewährt, um auf Halde zu produzieren. Vor der erwarteten Zulassung des Impfstoffs am Freitag durch die Europäische Arzneimittelbehörde hätte AstraZeneca also längst Impfdosen zurückstellen müssen. Stattdessen habe das Unternehmen die für Europa bestimmten Ampullen nach Großbritannien ausgeliefert.
The Novasep’s factory in the town of Seneffe is part of the European production chain for the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine.
Beamte der belgischen Arzneimittelbehörde statteten dem AstraZeneca-Standort in Seneffe einen Besuch ab. Die EU-Kommission hatte die Untersuchung angefordert. Sie will wissen, ob auf EU-Gebiet produzierte Dosen nach Großbritannien umgeleitet wurden.
AstraZeneca‘s vaccine has not been granted approval yet for general use in the European Union, but the bloc‘s medicines regulator EMA is poised to authorise it on Friday.
The German panel, STIKO did not detail the data from clinical trials on the vaccine on older people, but two prominent German media outlets had reported that the efficacy on above-65s was below 10 per cent.

Tobias R. litt offensichtlich unter Wahnvorstellungen. Er hatte im November 2019 ein Schreiben an den Generalbundesanwalt geschickt, in dem er erklärte, er werde illegal überwacht.
Eine Rufumleitung zu einer Leitstelle war nicht eingerichtet. Zudem wurden zahlreiche erfolglose Anrufversuche in der Tatnacht nicht einmal registriert oder aufgezeichnet. So wurde im unmittelbaren Anschluss an den Terroranschlag im Zeitraum von über einer Stunde nicht ein einziger Anruf mit Tatbezug registriert.

Atomwaffen sind seit dem heutigen Freitag international verboten. Außenminister Alexander Schallenberg (ÖVP) würdigte das Inkrafttreten des Atomwaffenverbotsvertrags als „historisch“. „Die Gefahr hat nicht abgenommen“, mahnte er bei einer Pressekonferenz in Wien vor den nuklearen Risiken. Bundeskanzler Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP), der den Vertrag 2017 als damaliger Außenminister unterzeichnet hat, sprach von einem „wichtigen Schritt in Richtung einer sicheren Welt“.
Das vom Außenministerium anlässlich des Inkrafttretens des Atomwaffenverbotsvertrags veröffentlichte Video, in dem die Folgen eines Atombombenangriffs auf Wien simuliert werden, beschäftigt heute den Bundesrat.
