A friend & ally of @AlexSalmond tells @BBCr4today that : “If it was proven there was a conspiracy (to do him in) everybody involved in the conspiracy would be getting their jotters”. In other words @AlexNeilSNP is saying that @NicolaSturgeon & her allies would have to quit

Whilst the timetable is more cautious than many businesses & Tory MPs wanted @BorisJohnson's rejection of #ZeroCovid signals that he is prepared to treat COVID more like flu from the Summer ie accepting that there will be infections, hospitlisations & deaths

49 days until that first visit to the pub, the shops and a haircut. 84 days until you can see friends & family indoors, go to a movie, a play or a match. 110 days until you can see who you like where you like. Does that leave you excited or disappointed, reassured or frustrated?

Just watched wonderful live theatre from @AlmeidaTheatre. Wanted to jump up from my sofa & run down the road to applaud great performances by @AdrianLester & @DannySapani and @Lolitachakra for her powerful new play Hymn. Can’t wait to be back inside one day soon https://t.co/MTTbJksc8c

So does @NicolaSturgeon disagree? Or does her promise to pursue a Covid “elimination” strategy mean driving the virus down to very low levels and not eliminating it ?

My Mum used to hide in a cupboard in Shanghai in the 40’s to listen to the radio with her parents - refugees from the Nazis. They wanted the news from London not self serving propaganda. It was banned then. It’s banned now. The BBC will carry on giving the news to the world

There are practical difficulties as numbers returning from "red list" are small - direct flights are banned & only UK/Irish citizens people can fly in. So, may need whole hotel near regional airport/ports for handful of people. Does govt still believe in its own policy ?
