review is announced. the times reports there are plans to let ministers throw out legal rulings they do not like. and it's brexit on the daily express front cover — saying uk companies will be able to compete on a level playing field. white neck feels like an old headline, doesn't that? with the read is that, though, perhaps, or not. let's start tony, with the telegraph. more than 300,000 people housebound have not had their boosterjabs. we are all being encouraged to get them, though. that seems to be — encouraged to get them, though. that seems to be a — encouraged to get them, though. trust seems to be a bit of an issue of who is going to go into peoples properties and give them their boosterjab. the government has offered gps £30 per household, but gps are not that keen on doing it, they have too much work to do. some areas have tried to sign up pharmacies and others have asked the st. john's ambulance for help. this is obviously a big chink in the armour where people who are the most vulnerable are not going to get their booster is. there are two at three different things going on. when is the reluctance of gp starting work, and the other is the difficulty of trying to get private companies to do that sort of work. yes, it is a huge undertaking, and just the sheer logistics updates, carol, are always going to be problematic to relate out as fast as they want to. for problematic to relate out as fast as they want te— they want to. for sure, and the government — they want to. for sure, and the government have _ they want to. for sure, and the government have pledged -

that we have heard expressed tonight, tony, with people we interviewed, we are being encouraged to travel, we are being encouraged to travel, we are being encouraged to be vaccinated, yet, we are still facing these costs.— to be vaccinated, yet, we are still facing these costs. yes. this comes back to something _ facing these costs. yes. this comes back to something i _ facing these costs. yes. this comes back to something i was _ facing these costs. yes. this comes back to something i was saying - back to something i was saying earlier on, if you are in the government, you have got to try to balance the risk to the economy, you want people to fly, because that's revenue from the taxpayer for the country, but on the other hand, you are trying to take a reasonably cautious approach. the thing to remember here is that advisers advise them about ministries decide, so be here all the advice from scientists, lots of people telling the government what they are doing wrong and how they should be doing a better, but ultimately committees are clinical decisions, and its ministers who will then have to take, you know, the consequences of those decisions, but that means more stringent measures injanuary or not. i think that the government at the minute, the main issue here is trying to balance the pressure is on the nhs and the need for the economy to continue as best it can. if the nhs and the need for the economy to continue as best it can. ii are to continue as best it can. if we look at the _ to continue as best it can. if we look at the times, _ to continue as best it can. if we look at the times, this - to continue as best it can. if we| look at the times, this is talking about what caroline referred to a moment ago, too late to stop omicron, says adviser, it is already spreading within the community, it's notjust about spreading within the community, it's not just about people spreading within the community, it's notjust about people bringing it in from other parts of the world. that will be the case _ from other parts of the world. that will be the case with _ from other parts of the world. trust will be the case with pretty much any variance. the idea that the uk can completely shut itself off are any possible variant of covid—i9 is nonsense. we cannot do that. one of the things that the government i think it's slowly trying to just words is the idea that we will have to learn to live with this long—term. covid—i9 is notjust going to disappear one day, so it comes back to that balance between protecting the nhs, making sure it doesn't become overwhelmed and relying on people's personal responsibility in terms of getting their vaccines and getting their booster, but any of the site of that is the economy. this is a key time of year for many, many businesses in the uk. at the government was going to move to trying to shut people down again, it would be catastrophic for us economically. it down again, it would be catastrophic for us economically.— for us economically. it looks like he by making — for us economically. it looks like he by making their _ for us economically. it looks like he by making their own -
