Apparently @theJeremyVine saying that visiting a second home in England is currently illegal - this is wrong. It is currently legal. There is no *legal* restriction on travel and no legal requirement to stay at any particular home.

The only relevant legal question is whether you are part of an unlawful gathering. If you are just with your household indoors, or with your linked household, or fall into another exception, it doesn't matter where you are. See my thread 2/3

There is *guidance* on the gov.uk website which says this about overnight stays. That is guidance only and has no basis in law in relation to England.
Everyone should follow the guidance because it's the right thing to do - but don't mistake it for law 3/3

As throughout the pandemic, the government continue to play this odd game (no doubt with some amateur psychology behind it) of making the guidance stricter than the law, and causing the public and police to be confused. See my @prospect_uk article prospectmagazine.co.uk/essays/adam-wa…
Lots of sense from @PFEW_Chair here on the confusion between law and guidance and the importance to public *and * police of government making this clear
