Ms Green also reiterates her apology for telling Labour members at the party's conference last week that they should"I really regret saying that, it was absolutely the wrong thing to say - hurtful and offensive to people who have suffered in this pandemic and I shouldn't have said it.
"And I think it is so important that when we come through this crisis, we look at what is really important to us so we're not caught out in this terrible way again." "The real key to this is getting the mass testing rolled out so students can be tested - we can know if somebody is testing positive and make sure they are isolating and don't travel," she tells Sky News presenter Kay Burley.
But Ms Whately says the government cannot rule out students being told to stay at universities over Christmas, while she also downplays the prospect of mass testing of students.Asked if she would report her neighbours for breaking coronavirus rules, Ms Whately says:"If you see that there's a marquee in someone's garden and there's a huge party going on, you're probably going to take action about that.
Quizzed about scenes of crowded streets when pubs and bars close at 10pm, Ms Whately replies:"What I would say to people coming out of bars and pubs is - think about why these restrictions are in place."
It just goes to show that politicians don’t live in the real world! Of course it won’t stop people from congregating when ALL pubs shut at 10pm and EVERYONE leaves at the same time. MPs are the dimmest people on the planet.
Just close the pubs completely.
is he a fooking idiot. Bars etc close at 10pm , does he just think everyone will be immediately be cyber transported to their homes, People take a while to make the way home and dont just disappear
Are the Brits so addicted to drink that they don’t know what to do without it? Do they honestly need to be told what to do by their mates? Or is it the lefties have brainwashed our young people to stop taking responsibility in case they lose the herd mentality?
