In this week's London Calling the topics are Boris's endless woes, the banning of "inappropriate staring" on the tube and Jussie Smollett's comeuppance for pretending to be the victim of a hate crime.

A summary of all the most interesting stories that have appeared about politicians’ efforts to control the virus — and other acts of hubris and folly – not just in Britain, but around the world.

Schools have begun moving to "remote learning" for the final week of term in spite of Boris saying children should remain in the classroom unless it is a “public health emergency”. Why? Step forward the teaching unions.

In news that will surprise no one, Sajid Javid has told the Commons that the Government intends to change the definition of "fully vaccinated" so only those who've been triple jabbed can get a vaccine passport.

Wetherspoons Chairman Tim Martin has called the Government's 'Plan B' measures a "lockdown by stealth", with the company warning its investors that trade will be hit hard by work from home guidelines.

English pubs and hotels have lost virtually all their Christmas bookings in the past 24 hours, thanks to Government-initiated panic about the Omicron virus.

The SNP Health Secretary Humza Yousaf has said that the Scottish Government will inevitably bring in additional Covid restrictions, with Nicola Sturgeon expected to announce a series of new measures tomorrow.

We're publish an impassioned plea on the Daily Sceptic by law professor David McGrogan urging universities not to switch to 'remote learning' next term in response to the Omicron panic.

Some scientific experts have called for primary school aged children to be given the vaccine, warning that in-person teaching faces major disruption due to the Omicron variant.
