It was a bright sunny day on the morning of Wednesday 21 September, 2016. Just like any other weekday morning, I woke up my two children, Helena and Daniel, who were seven and four at the time, and got them ready for school. My husband Berat cleared away breakfast, as I put on a beautiful dress for church on one of the last warm days before autumn.

"In a care home, a closed environment where there are vulnerable residents, I would argue there does seem to be an obvious rationale. "I think it will depend very much on each setting and the particular context. That is why I don't think it would be right to say there can be a blanket approach here because we need to go back to the fundamental fact that vaccines are not compulsory here in the UK. "There's a very … [Read more...] about Care homes CAN impose ‘no jab, no job’ work contracts on new staff, says Justice Secretary
