In the latest round of restrictions, those who do not self-isolate face a fine of up to £10,000. Matt Hancock told the BBC's Andrew Marr show that the country was facing a "tipping point and we have a choice". He added: "If everybody follows the rules then we can avoid further national lock-down." The PM is understood to be considering a ban on households mixing, and reducing opening hours for pubs. I'm afraid I do not agreed with this stance at all and hope that my letter to the Telegraph is published. Test and trace is probably the best way of dealing with this virus and the Government needs to keep improving the scheme. Yesterday, I popped down to Swanage Hospital to visit a remarkable lady who has been closely associated with my family for c60 years. I call her Mrs B and I was delighted to find her in good heart and comfortable in that cosy hospital. And a memorial service was held in Westminster Abbey to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The battle, fought by 'the few', was a dramatic turning point in World War Two. I wonder what those men would think of the way we have handled this virus? We did not shut the country down in her darkest days, we did the opposite; we rose up and fought.
