Ipswich MP: Our target must be to reach Tier 1 in a fortnight
This week’s vote on the local tiers was a very difficult decision. I believe it’s critical that the Government doesn’t lose sight of the need to balance the protection of livelihoods as well as lives when looking at how to manage Covid-19.
