Britain is "shut for business" because of travel restrictions that are "incomprehensible" in one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, Theresa May has warned. In a forthright attack on the Government's Covid policy , the ex-prime minister said that if ministers blocked travel every time there was a new variant, "we will never be able to travel abroad ever again". She said Britain was "falling behind" the EU - despite being way ahead on vaccinations. Mrs May made the comments, timed to coincide with the start of the G7 meeting of world leaders in Cornwall, as the aviation sector called for "immediate" action to reopen the skies. Mr Johnson will announce on Monday whether Covid restrictions will be lifted domestically on June 21 , but the rules for international travel are decided separately. This is the latest advice on travelling abroad . It came as the Prime Minister praised Joe Biden's administration as a "breath of fresh air". Despite speculation the US …

KATIE DONEGAN, 37, and husband Alan, 43, are both retired. They split their time between Basingstoke and travel abroad. “Looking at my day ahead, I wondered whether to exercise or meet a friend. Like any retired person, I had plenty of free time, but unlike the majority, I had no grandkids or an older-person’s bus pass – because I’d stopped working at 35. "I grew up in Uxbridge, where my mum Alison, now 69, was a teacher and my dad Kris, 73, a market researcher. We had enough to live comfortably, but there was very little money for fancy holidays or meals out. I attended the local comprehensive and always saved my pocket money – I loved watching it grow instead of spending it. "At 18 I went to study maths at the University of Oxford, but I struggled and left the following year. Back home, I temped doing office admin for a while, earning £9 per hour, before going on a three-month volunteering project in January 2005 to Costa Rica, where I met Alan. "We returned to the UK …

MOST mums would be happy to watch their teenage sons get on a bus and go off to play with friends. But as Lara McDonnell* waves goodbye to her 13-year-old, Noah*, she has to steady herself. He’s the perfect child – smart and sensitive and never in trouble – but Lara is fixated with irrational fears that he’ll be attacked or stabbed. And with good reason – her own teenage years were a blur of abuse, after she was groomed, coerced and trafficked by one of the UK’s most notorious child-sexual-exploitation (CSE) gangs. “I get very anxious,” says the 29-year-old mum of two. “I panic, but I try not to stop him going out. I sit here and I literally shake. I try to rationalise and not let it show, because I want him to be independent, but I worry a lot.” Ten years ago, when Thames Valley Police (TVP) and Oxfordshire County Council launched Operation Bullfinch to investigate the Oxford-based CSE ring, Lara – whose real name has never been made public in order to protect her …
