The PM told his party's MPs in a letter tonight: "The Government will again need to secure Parliament’s support before then, in order for the tiered approach to remain in place until the end of March as we believe will be necessary to control the virus through the winter."

Unfortunately, that’s true. @BorisJohnson said there won’t be a #lockdown after 2nd December 2020, then re-branded it in the form of the Tiers, and threatened another #lockdown after #Christmas2020. https://t.co/F9P73psptt

John Dean suggested something that I have not heard before: that while Trump pardoning himself is legally questionable, he may do so quietly, as a contingency to pull out if his pocket in the future if he faces charges. That could be tied up in courts for years. pic.twitter.com/UVCRLqL5Rr

But we’re supposed to keep businesses and schools open without getting any additional aid from the government thanks to political games and an attempt to get a deal for trump to avoid getting charged or investigated once he leaves office. Thanks a lot #GOPComplicitTraitors
