True North

South of the Tyne, Tyne and Wear was created in order to weaken the miners. But Monday Clubbish enthusiasts for the old county boundaries in general, why do you want to live under permanently Labour councils in re-expanded Warwickshire, Lancashire and Northumberland? Ted Heath gave you Conservative councils that you would not otherwise have had.

The one in Northumberland is in full accord with Jamie Driscoll, electorally the single most successful politician of the five-year Corbyn Project. If there had to be another national lockdown, then there would have to be another national lockdown. But the North East is damn well not moving into Tier Three unless London did. And if London did, then it would take the entire country with it.

It does not even ring true that you would be at greater risk of contracting Covid-19 in Newcastle City Centre than you would be in London. It is inconceivable that you would be at less risk in London than in Northumberland or in County Durham. Richard Holden's neighbours in Wolsingham cannot be at greater risk than the people whose London flats shared a building with his. That is impossible.
