Boris Johnson and his government needs to provide a clear vision of the Covid-19 roadmap

You quote the results of a survey showing that the UK public is nervous about relaxing current Covid-19 restrictions. I suspect that these results were more a function of mass trauma than a forensic assessment by the public of the relaxation of individual restrictions.

What is needed now is a vision of where the roadmap is taking us. Otherwise how will we know when we have arrived? Setting out a clear vision of the future will give people confidence about the final changes. Whatever happens on 21 June, it was never going to be about going back to a pre-pandemic normal. Some restrictions are, like the virus, going to be with us for the duration.

Face coverings in enclosed public spaces are likely to be needed until next spring, perhaps then being required only on public transport. Hand washing/sanitising will also be retained.

Communication has been the biggest government failing in the pandemic. It now needs to be clear, concise and constructive. People will draw confidence from that.

Can someone explain why the the trouble, expense and logistical disruption of holding the G7 summit in Cornwall is taken when, presumably, somewhere like Chequers is available?

After all, it is supposed to be a couple of days at the office; not the jolly it surely is

It’s doubtful much will be achieved and, tell be again, why the partners are there?

I would suggest to John Rentoul that proportional representation is not gaming the system but rather a way of making votes representative.

Reform of the electoral system is an ethical matter in a country where it takes 866,000 votes to elect one Green MP, 336,000 votes for one Liberal Democrat MP, 51,000 votes for a Labour MP, 38,000 votes for one Tory MP and 26,000 votes for one SNP MP.

It's time to remove the party-coloured blinkers and to reflect on engagement and fairness. Is that so bad?.

It's interesting to read that Michael Gove’s workplace allows daily testing instead of isolation after Covid-19 contact.

So now members of parliament can be tested every day and return to the House and get back to open government.

The Champions League final between two English clubs was held in Portugal, despite the big carbon footprint and huge expense to fans.

And now, surprise, surprise, just days later, numerous fans are having to isolate/quarantine at further expense (but not Michael Gove) and Portugal’s “traffic light” goes from green to amber, triggering another frantic and costly scramble to get home before a deadline much less than the promised two weeks.

Beyond stupid when there was an obvious, sensible, safer, cheaper, greener alternative.
