British Trump

The Tories claimed that there was some new superstrain of Covid in order to excuse their mistakes/broken promises and justify sudden tighter measures in the face of exploding cases, then the rest of the world decided to take them seriously and promptly shut down border/air traffic.

You know everyone else can hear you, right...

The situation

London and the south east cut off from rest of the country

UK outward freight to Calais cut off

UK travel prohibited for a swathe of countries

More cases reported in last 24 hours than ever before

5 days til Christmas

11 days til the transition ends
