Feed cut so that Joe Public can’t listen whilst the draconian level of the act is discussed, extraordinary.
The lack of suitable review/exits clauses in 6 months is telling. Effectively 2 years of emergency powers and nothingness can be done to revoke it.
Boris has grown his parliamentary majority SIGNIFICANTLY!

I’m sure Dominic Cummings made sure the bill read as it does.
The thing is, this wouldn’t have to be necessary if idiots would have just followed advice. But no, let’s all treat it as an extended holiday and go to the beach, parks and heritage sites. Useful idiots of course.

The whole point of the advice is to drag it out as long as possible. If you want this over with as soon as possible its time to bring back "pox parties". Infect everyone, then after 3 weeks it's done.
The bill enables action in 5 key areas:
- increasing the available health and social care workforce – for example, by removing barriers to allow recently retired NHS staff and social workers to return to work etc...
- easing the burden on frontline staff – by reducing the number of administrative tasks they have to perform, etc...
- containing and slowing the virus – by reducing unnecessary social contacts, for example through powers over events and gatherings, and strengthening the quarantine powers of police and immigration officers
- managing the deceased with respect and dignity – ...
- supporting people – by allowing them to claim Statutory Sick Pay from day one, and by supporting the food industry to maintain supplies
There is no Section X. Section 10 is about indemnity.
