New figures show it will cost the economy £1billion a week and threaten a further 300,000 jobs.
Parts of our battered and bruised hospitality industry may never bounce back.

The vast majority of those ending up in hospital with the Indian — or Delta — variant have not had jabs.
Some of these will have had their heads turned by the crackpot ideas of Jeremy Corbyn’s brother Piers and his pals, who spread their deranged propaganda on social media, aided by tech firms who seem to do nothing to stop this dangerous nonsense.

Pressed on whether he would accept a similar ban on Toulouse sausage going to Paris, he said it was not comparable as both cities are in the same country.
In other words, he thinks Brexit means Northern Ireland is no longer in the UK.
With stupidity like this, is it any wonder progress with the EU has been so hard?

Every football fan will be praying for his full recovery.
Come on Christian — you can do it.
