⚠️TIER 4 RESTRICTIONS COMING AT MIDNIGHT⚠️
Full guidance online now: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tier-4-stay-at-home.
Details below. I’m not sure what else I can say. I don’t have the words to express how angry I am at the way this has been handled by Government or the total lack of emotional intelligence on display from the Prime Minister just now.
