    I would like to think they would otherwise be less likely to walk straight out.

    As for the passports fingers crossed it doesn't happen. If 100+ Torys vote it down and it gets through because of Labour backing them that's Starmer even less likely to become PM. If the Labour party help this nonsense from happening they will stand a better chance.

    Daft question but why did he have to start later? You’re entitled to a day off for your graduation.

    Is that just because it's a university job?

    They have to move from Lancaster to Swansea and his wife is finishing her PhD (she can work from anywhere so it wasn't a problem for her) so it made sense to stay till the graduation, then move house before Christmas and start his new job in the new year. Convenience rather than any necessity.

    I'd seen 50 mentioned - Beth RIgby I think
    Its all irrelevant anyway as Labour will support it which may give more Tories the confidence to vote against
    Its a shame the "rebel" Tories dont feel as strongly about the policing bill banning demonstrations or the nationalities bill allowing the Home secretary to strip British citizens of their citizenship on a whim - all things I think are far more important than the vaccine passports (though all are linked to freedom from the state controlling you)

    I'm pretty sure you can't get a covid passport just from scanning a negative LFT test. You can get an NHS profile, but it won't have any record of you having your covid vaccines on there, which is what you need to gain entry to Oakwell.

    Johnson informed supporters that they will need to provide proof that they have received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine, or show a negative lateral flow test, in order to attend stadiums.

    I think you can get a 48 hour covid passport if you submit a negatative lateral flow test or 72 hours if it was a PCR. Of course there is no way to fake a self admisitered lateral flow pass result !

    I can't imagine faking a test just so you can come watch Barnsley lose.

    All joking aside I am triple vaccinated now but I still run a lateral flow test if I am going out to something - so tonight I am going out to a restaurant with Friends ( those that havent chickened out after our Clowns last speach) and I took a test this morning - it seems the right thing to do as I wouldnt want to be responsible for passing it on. I will do a test before matches as well - though I think the risk in the open air is a lot lower

    Deliberately or not, Johnson has monoevred Starmer into a fairly tricky position from what I can see. Starmer clearly isn't in favour of doing nothing, so would be in favour of increased use of masks, and the work from home order, because he wouldn't want to be the one who did nothing while people were getting sick or dying in numbers that the NHS can't cope with. But the vote he'll be faced with will be all of that plus vaccine passports, or do nothing. Unless he can table an amendment to the vote, but the tory rebels wouldn't go along with that either.

    Tbh, I'm surprised there hasn't been more scrutiny on the question of how effective a vaccine passport mandate would actually be. It looks like the unvaccinated that prove a negative test will still find themselves at risk from the vaccinated but untested. Would've thought if you were to go down such a route, that asking everybody to show a negative test, and nobody to show their vaccine status would be more effective.

    My lad messaged me today to say that the ceremony is going ahead with obligatory mask-wearing in all parts of the venue.

    It has always been stated that vaccine passports would be proof of vaccines OR LFTs. I’ve said right from the very start that I would be against proof of vaccine only but I really can’t see why people would be against doing an LFT instead. Complaints before centred around having to wait around at the venue for 15mins and potential wasted travel but as you can do it at home I really don’t see the problem with that. Only the people who can’t or won’t get a vaccine needs to do a test and then if those people also refuse to do a 20 second test and head to mass gatherings then I’m sorry but I think those people are selfish (unless they have a legitimate medical reason to also not do tests).
