Remember Chris Grayling was meant to be the new chair of the powerful Intelligence and Security Committee ? well sounds like it didn't quite pan out that way.....
He had to win a vote to get the job from the other MPs in the room - sounds like it didn't go his way, and went to another Tory MP
Source suggests Julian Lewis will be the chair instead
Just confirmed by the Cabinet Office
'Julian is rather more ruthless than any of us had realised' according to a Committee wag

So for England, here's your new normal

1. Pubs + hospitality + hairdressers opening sat 4th
2. '1 metre plus' - the new rule on social distancing
3. 2 households now allowed to meet INDOORS
4. Outdoor gyms, theme parks, libraries all able to open too
5. Gyms, theatres, nail bars + some other facilities shut
6. Doors will be locked again if there are new flareups
7. 'Mitigations' eg putting your name down at the door of the pub (yup), wearing masks on public transport, screens put in place in biz, all expected too
But PM says 'our national hibernation' is coming to an end .. it's a big moment after three months of extraordinary measures

From this weekend single parents and single people can join a ‘support bubble’ - in other words, millions of people can now go to each other’s houses and don’t have to follow 2 m rule in England BUT...
You can only choose ONE other household - and it doesn’t apply to people who are shielding, and refers to people in England
But a big deal for many people - eg single grandparents who will be able to spend time with and hug their grandchildren for the first time in several months - ‘bubble’ model could be expanded to include other households as time goes on

After relative silence from No 10 on protests in last few days - Boris Johnson has written for The Voice newspaper voice-online.co.uk/news/uk-news/2…
PM says death of George Floyd 'awakened an anger, and a widespread and incontrovertible, undeniable feeling of injustice' that govt 'simply can't ignore', with those feelings 'founded on cold reality'
But piece has tough words for those flouting social distancing to protest or causing damage to monuments.. full piece on @TheVoiceNews
