• Birmingham
• Dudley
• Sandwell
• Walsall
• Coventry
• Wolverhampton
• Solihull
• Warwickshire
• Staffordshire
• Cheshire
• Warrington
• Stoke on Trent
• Leicester and Leicestershire
• Lincolnshire
• Northamptonshire
• Nottingham and Nottinghamshire
• Derby and Derbyshire

• Liverpool
• City of York
• North Yorkshire
• Worcestershire
• Herefordshire
• Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin
• Wiltshire
• Bath and NE Somerset
• Dorset
• Devon, Plymouth, Torbay
• Cornwall

Everywhere else stays as it is. Nowhere will be in Tier 2 any longer. Only the Isles of Scilly will be in Tier 1.

Matt Hancock on now on parliament

I’m glad they put Manchester under Tier 4. I thought they’d do Brum and drag us out another week.

I’m personally of the belief that we should hunker down and get on with the vaccine

Jessica Parker @MarkerJParker (BBC)
Areas moving to Tier 4 from tomorrow

@JacobReesMogadishu

Hancock talking now, about the vaccine. Great British breakthrough, great country, etc, etc. Astra Zeneca couldnt have done it without the govt, etc.

Where?

And Tier 3

Can we go back to playing Bingo with @eternalopt?

We can stop for a bit when Tier 10 is announced!

Weird guardian is saying following south west is going to tier 4

e south-west, Gloucestershire, Swindon, Somerset, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole will be in tier 4,

@Waxonwaxoff0

Anyone else poured a ?

Oh yes...I think we are going to need it... although being in tier 4, I don't know what else they can do to us... unless it's a return to homeschooling, in which case, one glass isn't going to be enough🤣🍸

Thanks RedToothBrush

I knew that you would come up with the list, just did a fruitless search myself

Did anyone else hear that only 530k vaccines are available immediately with more not expected until February?

Does "from tomorrow" mean tomorrow at midnight. I should know this by now!

I can’t believe that they aren’t doing more than they have announced today. Having watched the independent sage update this morning, it’s clear the tiers are not enough. How can they have 50,000 cases a day and be fucking around with moving a few more places into tier 3/4? Those 50,000 don’t even include people infected over Christmas. This country is fucked.

“One more big push.”
Careful, Boris, that's how babies appear.

If JVT is at the briefing, what will he add to his train analogy? More vaccines - more trains in the station? New virus variants - leaves on the line?

@LynetteScavo

Does "from tomorrow" mean tomorrow at midnight. I should know this by now!

It's tonight.

So 00.01 Thursday

Jeremy Hunt getting a schoolboy telling off

Jeremy hunt just got told off by the speaker for not adhering to the commons dress code even though he was at home on a zoom call. 😁

Bet he’s running for a tie now!

Is that from midnight tonight?

Anyone else just hear Jeremy hunt be told off for not wearing a suit? 🤣

@Destinysdaughter

Is that from midnight tonight?

Yes.

Jeremy hunt has been great through this.

He has just said how on earth can we cope with schools open and shouldn't we be throwing everything at this to get it surpressed

Knew I should have taken DS for a haircut today. Bugger.

Sorry, saw it was answered upthread!

Bugger

@Destinysdaughter

Is that from midnight tonight?

Yes 00.01 Thursday - so basically midnight tonight

To stop people going out on the lash for NYE no doubt
