Coronavirus Pandemic in London
The UK is banning people from leaving their homes apart from for a few “very limited” reasons. Five and a half weeks since the first confirmed case of Covid-19 in London, the number of cases in the capital was approaching 2,500 on Monday and deaths there made up a third of the UK total. “The line for London going up in that exponential way is an indication that the epidemic is out of control,” says Prof Eric Brunner of University College London.
“It is still not clear what the reasons are for that,” he says. “Perhaps that is so they can avoid a formal state of emergency and so they don’t alienate the population. But the behaviour of a population has to change very, very fast to prevent this epidemic becoming a disaster.”
Boris Johnson Weeping Conservative Victory Brexit Sure
Conservatives celebrate their biggest win since Margaret Thatcher. Boris Johnson promises Brexit, and a life after it. The Conservative victory buoyed the pound and stocks. With all districts declared, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives had won 365 seats — 48 more than they won in the last election, in 2017. The prime minister said it would give him a mandate to “get Brexit done” and take the UK out of the EU next month. Labour, which has lost seats across the North, Midlands and Wales in places which backed Brexit in 2016, is facing its worst defeat since 1935.
