Tory MPs warn Freedom Day could be delayed again and say they don’t believe PM’s assurances it will go ahead on July 19
And they argued the fact almost all the most vulnerable Brits have now been offered maximum protection means there's no justification for the delay.
"We’ve heard Ministers say they’re ‘pretty confident’ about lifting restrictions before and then do the opposite."So some of us, I'm afraid, are a bit worried that we're not going to actually move forward on July 19." And he accused ministers of moving the goalposts by arguing hospital admissions now need to be kept lower so the NHS can clear its waiting lists.
"I never believed that the Government’s response to the epidemic was proportionate. It had no right to the freedoms it took from us. "But bad for the nighttime industries that are going to need more help to survive. We have to keep getting people vaccinated. 'Go-Stop' is not an option."Tory MP Elliot Colburn was left enraged after his wedding plans have been scuppered yet again by the maintaining of restrictions.
"I am utterly heartbroken that many couples, like us, will now be looking to postpone their wedding for at least the second time, but in some cases the third or even more than that.One glum Tory MP also questioned the PM's optimism about July 19, pointing to his similar upbeat predictions that have failed to come true.
