The sun, at last! (Not the newspaper!) Farmers across the south will be welcoming a period of calm after weeks of rain. Today, my column (on the website) looks at freedom of speech and how it's being undermined by a worrying 'wokeness' that refuses to tolerate certainly traditional values. I'm not sure where it's come from, but I lay a lot of the blame at the door of social media, which has given a platform to a new wave of bile and hatred, often given anonymously, of course. Anyway, better news from Swanage. The sea rowing club has won its long-running dispute with HMRC. Retired chairman Rachael Hamilton is delighted. Now, hopefully, the club can pick up when these restrictions are lifted and go on benefiting the resort and all its members. My daily chat with my parliamentary team dealt with many on-going constituency matters, which continue to flood my in-box. Understandably, many people have been left bereft after these three lock-downs. I just hope that the Chancellor is not tempted to raise taxes in his Budget next week. The country or, more importantly, businesses, need to get back on their feet before we start dealing with the huge national debt. In Scotland, Alex Salmond told the Scottish parliamentary inquiry that he had "no doubt" that Nicola Sturgeon had breached the ministerial code. The former first minister gave an account to the committee of meetings he had with Ms Sturgeon that appeared to contradict her version of events. But he said it was not for him to say whether Ms Sturgeon should resign if she was found to have broken the code. He stepped back from that one! But he is looking for other resignations. Maybe, at last, the SNP's wheels are coming off. Their inability to work for the benefit of the whole UK is staggering. This independence they call for is for the birds and would be economic madness. In Covid news, the UK's decision not to prioritise key workers such as teachers or police officers for a Covid jab is "the moral thing to do" and will "save the most lives", the health secretary said. Matt Hancock confirmed the second phase of the vaccine roll-out would follow expert advice to focus on age groups. I am very concerned for prison officers, in particular, who work cheek by jowl with inmates. Extraordinarily, the latter are receiving the jab. I find this wrong and have put my concerns to both the Justice Secretary and prisons' minister. More than one in three adults in the UK have now had their first jab. However, England's chief medical officer said some areas of the UK are "burning quite hot" with rising levels of new coronavirus infections. Although coronavirus levels are still decreasing across much of the UK, hot-spots are still bucking the trend. In rather dramatic news, a US intelligence report found that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the murder of exiled Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
