>LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) – Britain could implement tougher COVID-19 measures, including advice to work from home, as early as Thursday in a bid to slow the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, according to media reports. Sterling and British government bond yields fell on the reports and investors scaled back their bets on the Bank of England raising interest rates on Dec. 16, at the end of its December meeting. Johnson was facing a backlash after a video surfaced showing his staff laughing and joking over how to explain a gathering in Downing Street during a Christmas COVID lockdown last year when such festivities were banned.
Ah, yes, because governments can stop the spread of the virus. Makes sense.
Right after the party on Downing Street.
They’re desperate for a diversion from the massive heat Johnson is under.
The problem is that any further clampdown demanded only adds fuel to the fire under his arse.
