Theresa May went proper anti-lockdown re international travel while I wasn't watching the Commons 
One year on we are no further forward ... Global Britain, shut for business: we've gone backwards
"We now have over 50% of the adult pop vaccinated yet we are more restricted on travel than we were last year"
"Last year in 2020 I went to Switzerland in Aug, S Korea in Sep, there was no vaccine, travel was possible; this year there is a vaccine, travel is not possible. I really do not understand the stance the govt is taking"
"The messaging is mixed and the system is chaotic"
"We will not eradicate Covid-19 in the UK; variants will keep on coming – if the govt's position is that we cannot open up travel until there are no new variants elsewhere in the world then we will never be able to travel abroad ever again"
"The 3rd fact that the govt needs to state much more clearly is that sadly people will die from Covid here in the UK, as 10-20k do every year from flu, and we are falling behind the rest of Europe in our decisions to open up"
"It is incomprehensible that one of the most heavily vaccinated countries in the world is one that is most reluctant to give its citizens the freedoms those vaccinations should support"
