Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

We have now vaccinated over 1.3 million people across the UK. We’re focusing our efforts on protecting the most vulnerable, reducing hospitalisations and saving lives.

It has been reported that there have been delays caused by PHE to vaccine delivery. This is untrue. The Government is working with the NHS to distribute vaccines across the UK. We have carried out nearly 1.5 million vaccines, more than the rest of Europe combined.

5.4 million people across the UK have received their first COVID vaccine dose. Yesterday alone we gave 400,000 vaccinations - an amazing achievement, and I want to thank everyone involved.

We have vaccinated over 5.8 million people in the UK, with a record 478,000 first doses given in a single day yesterday. Every jab brings us closer to defeating the virus. If you’re called for the vaccine, please do come forward.

A quick update from me on where we are. Some encouraging progress this week, but we’re not there yet. This weekend please stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.

Big news for the region as we decarbonise our massive industrial cluster. This is the sort of progress we must make if we are to realise our #NetZero ambitions.

Good turnout for the march through Rudheath against building the incinerator and increasing HGVs delivering waste by 100%. Too many HGVs too much pollution, affecting Rudheath and parishes in Marbury. Cllr Helen Treeby and I support refusing this application.

We were the first nation in the world to administer a vaccine, and one of the fastest in Europe to roll it out. This was because we made the big call to pursue our own vaccine procurement, outside of the EMA. 1/5
