THREAD: Am going to post some clips of my interview just now with @SkyNews which hopefully will explain a bit more about omicron, UK and what we can do...

and I address *that* xmas party

1. Is it ok just cos it boosters should protect against severe disease?

2. importance of isolation if you are a household contact! and need for support...

England should follow Scotland in this.

3. And the government will *not* struggle to get measures through - the CRG are a minority and there is a large parliamentary majority for doing more. That is comes from other parties should not stop govt from doing the right things.

4. I was asked if public would adhere to measures after that party. And I said public has been consistently more responsible than govt and talked about *that* party.

5. And finally - should we got to Xmas parties?
Sorry - but no.
BUT govt needs to then support the hospitality industry immediately - as they have done before.
