Except housing is now a key part of the Prime Ministers levelling up agenda. Maybe a clue to where th
Off the table, and the Press Secretary Jen Psaki saying they are continuing to look at ways that they can keep people healthy and save lives. Not ruling that out. And that would be a big change to peoples everyday life. Because right now you dont even have to show a negative test to get on a domestic flight in the United States. Ones that could have an immediate effect. We should note yesterday he did make one change when it came to airlines. Thats those Tsa Fines for not wearing a mask.
