A source involved in talks on stopping the highly infectious Indian variant said Johnson may have delayed putting India on the red list for political reasons.The source told the Sunday Times: ‘It’s very clear that we should have closed the border to India earlier and that Boris did not do so because he didn’t want to offend Modi .’The Indian variant is now the dominant strain in four areas in England and four Brits have died so far after catching it.
The hotspots are predominantly located in the North West and London, but health officials in Bedford have also raised alarm at an apparent spike.
It's the same when covid started, stop anyone going out and coming in.
No shit Sherlock

And no doubt if he had you’d have called him racist...
It isn’t part of his script
The PM and ministers get “advice” from “so called experts” and they get so much conflicting advice from these “so called experts”. They were damned if they acted on advice and damned if they didn’t. Why were airlines running flights and accepting passengers? That’s my question.
