This is not needed for any domestic testing and will raise issues around practicalities, compliance and enforcement. 7/9 — PolitiTweet.org

When it does arrive, it appears that the Government will not follow the path of replacing one expensive PCR test with a burdensome Lateral Flow process. This is welcome albeit questions will need answering around the need for photographic evidence. 6/9 — PolitiTweet.org

Passengers and the industry need urgent clarity on when this will take effect. ‘Later this month’ will be too late for those who need financial certainty to book the October half-term holiday. 5/9 — PolitiTweet.org

The Government had already announced that PCR testing will no longer be needed for those fully vaccinated. The Transport Committee has been calling for this move. We are still no clearer as to when in October this will apply from. We only know it will be ‘later this month’. 4/9 — PolitiTweet.org

Many travel agents, who specialise in former red list countries, have waited a long time for this announcement. 3/9 — PolitiTweet.org

The dramatic culling of the red list will provide a huge boost to many developing countries who have struggled without UK tourists. In parts of Africa, this has not only had a big impact on people but on wildlife and conservation. 2/9 — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting @WeAreBrightBlue discussion yesterday about how we boost #ElectricVehicle uptake. Increasing #chargepoints, greater #interoperability, and ensuring the #Grid can cope will all be vital if we are to meet our target to end the sale of new #ICE vehicles by 2030 #CPC21 https://t.co/LXYQ3btQnL — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewsurrey We aren’t; mainland Europe is 400,000 HGV drivers short. In 2020, France was short of 43,000 drivers, Germany 45,000 - 60,000 and Poland over 100,000. @CommonsTrans looked at this in 2016 when EU UK was short 20,000. It’s about attracting recruits with decent pay and conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

@RealNormalPod Average age of a UK HGV driver is 55yrs; just 1% of our HGV drivers are female and just 2% are under 25 yrs old. That’s a pretty strong argument for why we need more diversity — PolitiTweet.org

Please do not #PanicBuy. The #HGVShortage must be solved by improving working conditions for drivers, increasing their pay and attracting a more diverse workforce to the industry. https://t.co/gu2xX9Z5ij — PolitiTweet.org

Govt is right to ditch #PCRTests in favour of #LateralFLowTests for #DoubleJabbed Brits. Without high levels of sequencing (which has not occurred), there is no discernible benefit to using PCRs over LFT. 3/6 https://t.co/KInBMXwzVn — PolitiTweet.org
