Northerners will be happy to see the cockneys being locked up for Xmas. I'm sure Burnham is enjoying a bubbly tonight on two fronts(Leigh and cockneys), albeit his naughty mate Kay has run off to Africa to avoid the press!

Why would anyone be happy with any of this, cockerneees have had the same regulations brought to them as others have received - nothing to celebrate in any way shape or form

Tbf, parts of London should have been in tier 3 already. Their numbers were much worse than parts of the North and yet, once again, Bojo & Co have waited too long. Hope you enjoyed your Scotch egg and eight pints though
Having children at school for between 5 and 9 days before the government is allowing them to go and visit family all around the country is a recipe for disaster . Still a national lockdown in January will. Put the lid on the north south debate for a while. !!
Threatening head teachers who want to close schools before Xmas is ridiculous .
Schools are one of the main drivers of Coviid particularly in London

It was interesting to hear that at one of the "threatened" schools there are 1/3 of the pupils away from school, either with Covid or isolating and there were 23 teachers absent for the same reasons. Without actually being political (for once), it must be an absolute nightmare trying to manage pupils and staff etc and keep everyone safe. And getting back to politics. IF Bojo had lifted those areas into tier 3 at the appropriate time, perhaps it would have been easier to keep schools open

My kids bot at secondary school have missed 7 weeks between them at school due to Covid cases and year groups having to isolate. That is 35% of teaching time during the last term . Why they could not all be sent home for the last 7 days to help reduce transmission dates prior to the Xmas free for allis beyond me

Were they not being continued to be taught during isolation, my understanding is that teachers have to provide the same teaching whether pupils are at school or at home, indeed I know of one teacher who was in isolation teaching the full class at school via Teams - obviously can’t be the same but they’d shouldn’t be losing anything like the teaching time you have indicated

Don't worry as Im out in Goves leafy Surrey, so its padded jackets, Hunters, real ale and scotch eggs this weekend.
Its ok saying parts had higher numbers etc, 1; areas are not broken down into parts, 2; it's not just about numbers........but you know that anyway

Yes they were being taught via Teams but it is not as good as the in person teaching they would have got. Also when teachers are off the classes may be taken by a teacher who is not specialised in that subject No alternative really but in poorer areas there are children who are not able to access this. Yet the government still won’t make decisions about what happens for exams next year. Not an issue for my kids but for those who, are taking exams it will be worrying.

Thought they had decided on next years GCSE exams, to be undertaken with specific assistant aids, advised of the exam subjects and able to take books in with them - grandson is in year 11 and is happy with this rather than year long assessments
