Right, let us get underway, Prime Minister.

Shaldez Farrer!

Mr. Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Mr. Shalding Shalding Shephyr.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

During this pandemic, in my constituency of North West Cambridgeshire,

I have seen a number of instances of ordinary citizens doing extraordinary work,

helping the elderly and the vulnerable. And that has been repeated across the country in every

single constituency, giving true meaning to the words community spirit.

Would my right honourable friend take this opportunity not only to acknowledge this fantastic work

that has been done by so many people, but also to give a huge thank you to each and every one of these, these unsung heroes of our country.

I thoroughly concur with my right honourable friend,

and I congratulate all the volunteers for the spirit and the achievements that they have delivered for the people of this country.

I was delighted that we had a

first chance to honour them in the birthday honours list of the weekend, or just some of them.

Let's come to the leader of the opposition, Routable Kirsten.

Thank you, Mr Speaker. On the 11th of May, the Prime Minister said that the government's COVID strategy, and I quote him, will be governed entirely by the science.

On the 21st of September, the government's own scientific advisors, SAGE, gave very clear advice.

They said a package of interventions, including a circuit breaker, will be needed to prevent an

exponential rise in cases. Why did the Prime Minister reject that advice and abandon the science?

Prime Minister.
