💬 Sad day. Lockdowns have failed in slowing the transmission of Covid.

Now Govt expects people to sacrifice sharing Xmas with family & friends, just a few days after promising the opposite ❓

❌We need a clear exit strategy from this nightmarish, cycle of damaging lockdowns.
🚨 As we deliver the vaccine to the most at risk groups, the public needs to see how this will translate into a return to normal life, with restrictions being lifted at every stage & a clear roadmap to all our freedoms being restored as soon as this work is done

💡It is essential the Government moves swiftly to obtain competitive expert advice with formal challenge.

At one-minute past midnight on Saturday, Wycombe, and the whole of Buckinghamshire, will enter Tier 3. As disappointed & frustrated with the decision as I am, I encourage all to comply.

I know how devasting the impact of these additional restrictions will be for local business.
I understand that Buckinghamshire Council is currently exploring what additional support they can provide to local businesses based upon the Government’s financial Tier 3 support.

Further updates will be posted on buckinghamshire.gov.uk/coronavirus/co….
A summary of the Tier 3 restrictions can be found below.

The full details of the restrictions can be found through gov.uk/guidance/tier-….

You can view this information in different languages through gov.uk/guidance/local….

This week, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to keep the Bank Rate at 0.1%.

It takes an extraordinary level of economic education to think an economy propped up by Quantitative Easing and ultra-cheap credit is sustainable.
As I warned in Parliament in early October, the strategy of suspending our economy through these measures is dangerous.

Since October, the MPC has voted to increased the level of QE by £150 billion to £875 billion.

For years, I have spoken of the dangers of QE and manipulated, low interest rates.

Measures like these distort interest rates away from people’s actual time preferences. That leads to worsening distortions that correct in the future.

Yesterday, I asked Sir Charles Bean from @OBR_UK if he agrees analysts have not adequately taken into account the behavioural impact of coronavirus on the economy and on healthcare.

Sir Charles said the impact of the pandemic onto the economy comes through two routes…
@OBR_UK I then asked Richard Hughes, the Chair at @OBR_UK, to join me in calling on economists producing analysis of the costs to be careful not to fall into the error of miscategorising the source of harms.

Watch his response here:
@OBR_UK In my third question, I asked Andy King if he thinks it’s realistic @OBR_UK’s forecast doesn’t contain public spending on Covid from March 2022.

“That will emerge over the course of the next year as we learn more about how effectively the vaccines can be rolled out”.
