this morning, sajid javid gave an interview on the andrew marr programme that effectively made him like a hostage to his own party. conceding on one hand that action is necessary but behaving as if he is somehow a bystander rather than health secretary. and the reason for that is because he has over 100 conservative mps holding him to ransom, saying they will not even vote for the most mild restrictions that we voted on in parliament this week. and so the government is paralysed because of the conservative party's political problems and the prime minister's weakness and that is a very worrying situation for the country to find itself in. governments around europe are imposing tight restrictions in reaction to the rapid spread of the omicron variant. the netherlands has announced a stringent christmas lockdown, in an attempt to prevent a new wave of cases. all non—essential shops, bars, restaurants and other public places are shut as of this morning under the new measures introduced. dutch prime minister, mark rutte, says it's "possibly the hardest moment" of the pandemic." anna hollig
