No ,it won’t. In fact it will make them harder to shake off as the hypocrisy calls will increase. Especially from those in his party that are against restrictions.

wishful thinking. The one thing the Tory’s have proven over and over again is that they are very good at changing the story. The papers headline’s tomorrow won’t be the party. They will be plan B. In a weeks time the party story will be long dead.

Someone posted these SA numbers on Twitter this evening from there.

Looks like a rapid early spread and then a flattening off. Though on a graph it seems near vertical.

It is much more dramatic than past variants
