A complete mispresentation by @grantshapps

Despite asking for a call with UK Govt all of last week on this issue we were told on Fri night (while dealing with aftermath of multiple stabbing incident) the details would be in Saturday's press.

Meeting due with UK Govt yday at 6pm, at 530pm they sent through updated list of countries they wanted to announce. Original list we considered had 15 countries Green & 27 Amber risk - with 30mins notice asked us to decide upon updated list 40 countries Green & 33 Amber risk

I told them we clearly were not going to agree until our CMO & other advisors could consider updated list.

There was also an agreement between all four Nations that we should revisit the date of any announcement to take into account routemap milestones of each Nation.
