Thank you for the kind comments about my tweets on the 'rule of 6' regulation, mingling, significant life events etc. I have tried to answer some of the questions I have seen, obviously this is not legal advice, my overall advice is try to follow the guidance as best you can...

... The reality is that although the PM said the rule of 6 is simple, the bevvy of exceptions (which have attached like barnacles on the bottom of a boat since the first 26 March regulations) makes them complex even for lawyers. So unfortunately there won't be clear answers...

... to many questions, what I would suggest is that you try and follow
- the guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-meeting-with-others-safely-social-distancing/coronavirus-covid-19-meeting-with-others-safely-social-distancing
- and the new regulations which more complicated but are the law https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/986/pdfs/uksi_20200986_en.pdf
And if you really need clarity speak to a lawyer...

... but many lawyers will be throwing their hands up because many of these expressions (e.g. "mingle") have never been tested by a court. Here is my thread if you want to try and follow things through. Best of luck and keep safe, will come back later on https://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1305276954816503808?s=20

If you are feeling exasperated, get on to your local MP and convince them to campaign for these regulations to be subjected to some kind of prior parliamentary scrutiny because at the moment they are drafted in secret and literally arrive 20 minutes before they come into force!

Say what you want about whether we need criminal laws to enforce lockdown and social distancing (I am not against that) but this surely is not the most efficient and democratic way of creating criminal laws for millions of people.
