        'certain performing arts professionals' Depending on what criteria? We're so near Christmas all the gigs have probably been cancelled. You've left it too late as usual

        "high value business travellers" being exempt in his previous Tweet would suggest the criteria is how much money you make.

        why is the communication strategy always to drop headlines like this first and think about clarification and guidance later?

        Because people don't check what's actually in the package.

        So with all these exemptions it begs the question isn’t it about time you just got rid of your ridiculous confusing quarantine game & lifted the blanket travel ban - testing will ensure people are travelling safely ...

        Disgusting. The Borders should all have been shut at the start of the pandemic and remained shut until the pandemic is over.

        So you’re keeping the media sweet then yes? Are reporters more immune than accountants, estate agents etc?
