Hancock said today there are 5 criteria not just simple numbers like you quote.

I’m looking forward to a substantial meal and a few pints next Thursday as a reward for acting responsibly.

Hancocks criteria will also be used to pick the 12th club in SL.

It's amazing how in the worst parts of the South East, they can reduce the average by lumping them in with an area with a lower infection rate

Keeping the SE of England going is good for the north.

I shall enjoy my beer Thursday.

Don't forget to leave the pub once you've finished your meal.

I will just leave it to go cold on the table and just keep drinking fresh hand pulled real ale.

The R rate in Yorkshire and Humber is the lowest between 0.8 and 1 but all I hear about is Kent. It would appear we could be stuck in tier 3 for several weeks to come.
It was also reported that London based on their figures should be in tier 3 but no after intervention from Johnson it was reduced to 2, so much for the levelling up process.

Boris has just lost the next election and rightly so

"levelling up" is the biggest con in a long series of cons from Johnson & Co
Anyone who thinks that the country's wealth will ever be shared more evenly is deluded.

Mind you, the electorate still believe him.

For starters, all of us will be poorer on the back of Brexit (even the Southerners) apart from some of the ruling elite.

As for the tiers, once again the criteria is set to achieve the preferred outcome and we're all being played.
Over the coming months, if we keep the tier system, resentment will build and build.

What is it with you northerners that you always feel so hard done by?

As has been said previously it’s not just a simple number that is the criteria

You weren’t crying unfairness at the start of the first wave when London got locked down with no northern intervention.

Just get on with it.

An ex shipbuilding community is hardly going to become a uk silicone valley is it. Levelling up isn’t going to be level it’s just about lifting the north enough to stop you moaning about London and the south east.
