So on July 16th Matt Hancock announced parts of Leicestershire were released from lockdown now. Then the DHSC said he actually meant from July 24th even though he& #39;d said now twice. But on July 17th they& #39;ve said it& #39;s from July 18th. Mindblowing comms strategy. #LeicesterLockdown

And for those remaining in lockdown in the city that will be reviewed in two weeks (Matt Hancock/DHSC) or one week (Boris Johnson) so toss a coin to decide which one of those is correct if any. #LeicesterLockdown

And for those business owners out there, on the 24th non-essential retail can open but non-essential travel is not allowed. A huge boost for shops who want to open but don& #39;t want any customers in. #LeicesterLockdown

And further great news, schools, who broke up for the summer holidays on July 10th, can open again from July 24th. #LeicesterLockdown

Here ends the draft script for The Thick Of It - Leicester Special. #LeicesterLockdown
