'Tory MPs are getting angrier' - about the Tier system, itself somewhat ineffectively trying to save lives.
Not about corruption.
Not about lies.
Not about the devastation about to be visited by Brexit.
No.
About the temporary inconvenience involved in saving lives.
Contemptible.

The success of Rome & its empire for 1000 years: one major factor, roads. Roads are connections, facilitations, communications, ease of movement & exchange.
Brexit, like Trump: walls, barriers, obstructions, difficulties, bureaucracy, division, fragmentation.
This is pathetic. MPs 'furious' about measures to save lives, yet doing not a single bloody thing to avert a disastrous Brexit. Utterly contemptible.

Now they want evidence?
No evidence was needed by Tory MPs to steam ahead with austerity, unfairly treat benefit recipients; argue against COVID restrictions or to plough ahead with the insanity of Brexit.
Now they want evidence?

The irony! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55097182
I was talking to a younger man today who said he would now vote Remain, having voted leave.
He admitted that he didn’t understand the implications.
Brexit was all about an argument WITHIN the Tory Party, nothing else.
Now we are all about to pay the price for their hatefulness
The mess of a man-child had no idea what they had stolen from the Labour manifesto.
Now buried by Sunak in the Tory covid landfill.

Neither Goldman Sachs nor colleagues at TCIF or Theleme were exactly shy of tax avoidance. It would also be interesting to see Sunak's tax returns. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/27/huge-wealth-of-sunaks-family-not-declared-in-ministerial-register?CMP=share_btn_tw

Before Covid, the @DExEUgov estimated economic impact of a 'no-deal' #Brexit was an 8% GDP drop. ↙️
Now, the same 'crash out' #Brexit, (noticably unmentioned by @RishiSunak in his spending review) will cause just a 2% GDP drop. ↘️
Is Covid covering for Brexit?
New: EU and UK officials are expressing confidence that an overarching agreement on the outstanding issues of the Northern Ireland Protocol can be agreed in the coming weeks.
Good news: we are opening a direct Ireland – France ferry route on 2 January. This new freight ferry route between Rosslare and Dunkerque offers lorries and their drivers direct and paperless transport between EU countries

@DFDSGroup Looks like @pritipatel's cunning plan
to starve the Irish into submission is a non-runner!
It also looks like Holyhead won't be so busy

Robert Jenrick admits we could see an increase in infection rates because of the easing of restrictions over Christmas.
"The opening over the Christmas period is likely to drive some higher rates of infection."

The government's secrecy over its new border operating system is impeding the country's brexit preparations according to the haulage industry.
The new goods vehicle management system app... will only be seen by hauliers from the 23rd of December..

Mr Speaker is absolutely furious that you could hear which tier you were in, via a journalist, before the House got to hear about them.
Wes Streeting - What should the public be more concerned about.. aid that goes to the world's poorest, that saves us money... or the gross waste of public money through billions of £ of poor govt contracts & barrel loads of public money handed over to Tory Party donors?

"Unfortunately we did see the impact on cases continuing to go up in those areas where local leaders were not working alongside us & it was a sharp contrast to what happened for instance in Liverpool."
