But it is extraordinary that NHS frontline staff are not EXPLICITLY at top of queue for the vaccine as in Germany: not only do we have a moral duty to keep them safe, they are also the people most capable of passing it on to vulnerable hospital patients. This needs to change — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

It is also sensible to change our vaccine policy to concentrate on getting as many first jabs done as possible - something made easier by the Oxford AZ vaccine which offers a longer window between first and second jabs. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

It is right that some schools will remain closed next week & university starts are being delayed but it is still a big risk to open any schools at all with the virus exploding with the new strain and the NHS under severe pressure especially in parts of London. — PolitiTweet.org

Are we taking too many risks allowing some schools and universities to return next week? My question to @MattHancock https://t.co/YIxmBADIK0 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @BalancePowerUK: BREAKING: Matt Hancock says "Tier 3 is not enough to control the new variant. This is not a hypothesis, this is a fact.… — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

.@MattHancock has confirmed to me this afternoon that Waverley will be moving to Covid Alert Level 4 from Boxing Day. I know this will be a big disappointment for many but the decision has my full support. Stay at home is now the default unless permitted under the rules👇 https://t.co/bSVisZ1hh3 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Tony Blair was the first to spot population testing so he is worth listening to on this: question is how long you can wait for second jab and still get 90% + efficacy Tony Blair: We are in a race against time – we must change our vaccine policy now https://t.co/umHWMsJN2U — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

@Peston and @WilliamJHague both arguing for an accelerated vaccine roll out - they are both right. Every hour counts now — PolitiTweet.org

Great achievement for Karen Bradley who has shown herself to be very effective in her chairmanship of the Procedure Committee this year — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Lots of people have been getting in touch to ask about the new COVID-19 restrictions. You can find the most up to date info below for Tier 2. You must avoid traveling to Tier 4 areas and I encourage you to all stay at home as much as possible. https://t.co/BjC9Xbk3pw — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I know everyone is worried about Tier 4... but in Haslemere people also worry about their water supply! So for them, an update on my Friday meeting with @ThamesWater CEO Sarah Bentley https://t.co/oie79eijHd — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

So far finding it a fascinating read Jonny @pearsonstuttard - not least the rather striking statistic that healthcare is responsible for less than 15% of the health we experience — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

During a rare moment of calm (with kids also doing some reading 😇) the next on my reading list from the inimitable ⁦@UKAMREnvoy⁩ who always has important things to say https://t.co/kFH9EcxnI3 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Just spoken 2 @MattHancock who has confirmed to me that Waverley is staying in Tier 2 which will be a relief to many-but reassured him we will remain totally vigilant and play our part to keep virus under control.All advised to avoid household mixing at Christmas unless essential — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Nightmarish decision. But in a pandemic I would rather a government that changes tack quickly if that’s what it takes, so strongly support ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ https://t.co/s3f7fNmLyu — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

24% of hospitalised Covid patients are now thought to have caught the infection at their hospital. JCVI should urgently review whether hospital staff ships not go to the top of the priority list for vaccines https://t.co/7UM0fnbX1P — PolitiTweet.org
