And that is what this is all about. It is about saving the skin of @BorisJohnson at the cost of public health.
Boris Johnson has given the Tory right - David Davis, Mark Harper etc - what they were looking for. One by one, they stand up to praise him for lifting Covid restrictions. All helps to strengthen his position ahead of conclusion of Partygate saga.
Very much looking forward to this concert - my first for some months!

Absolutely loads of Gatekeepers (Hedge Browns) on the Gwent Levels now, numerous bramble bushes seen with at least 6 on each. @GwentLevels @SevernEstuary @ourlivinglevels @GwentWildlife @savebutterflies @notice_nature_
No sea of cornfield annuals passed off as a meadow here, nor a casual misuse of the term "wildflower" to mislead - this is what a genuine wildflower meadow looks like, and one that has been lovingly managed to support the local wildlife, enriching the biodiversity #wildflowerhour
A quick call in to the Loweswater hay meadows while in the area - Safe to say it's a Bumblebee bonanza with thousands feeding on the 25 acres of native wildflowers. #LakeDistrict #Haymeadow #ThisIsAMeadow
Nice fresh Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary Wyre Forest today. @BC_WestMids @ukbutterflies @britbutterflies @Butterfly_bros @BeccasButterfli @savebutterflies @europebutterfly
