Given much of the country has been under drastic restrictions continuously since 5 Nov (in some cases earlier) @BorisJohnson will have imposed an effective lockdown of 5+ months ... https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1344297414660907010
5+ months during which it will have been a criminal offence for you to invite your elderly neighbour into your house (or even garden) for a drink or just a chat

and when tens of thousands of pubs, cafes, restaurants & others are being banned from operating their businesses.
5+ months of it being a criminal offence for someone to sit in a cafe having a cup of tea

and for parents to hold a birthday party for their 6-year old with kids who mix together every day at school

and for millions of young people to meet anywhere indoors with even 1 friend.
Much of this imposed by diktat without parliamentary scrutiny or vote

And without good evidence that these restrictions will even help reduce hospitalisations or deaths.

Why are @UKLabour @LibDems & Tory backbenchers allowing the Government to get away with this?
