Kay Burley off air for 6 months

Kay Burley has admitted to breaking lockdown rules.

Evening everyone
I want to apologise to you all for an error of judgment. On Saturday night I was enjoying my 60th birthday at a Covid compliant restaurant. I am embarrassed to say that later in the evening I inadvertently broke the rules. 1/2

Looks like she has been sanctioned as Sarah Hewson is doing her show tomorrow.

Matt Hancock has said the roll out of the #COVID19 vaccine across the UK - ‘V Day’ - is the "beginning of the end” of the pandemic.

The Health Secretary joins @skynewssarah tomorrow at 7.05am.

Second part of the tweet

I had been waiting for a taxi at 11pm to get home. Desperate for the loo I briefly popped into another restaurant to spend a penny. I can only apologise 2/2

Which would seem like a pathetic thing for anybody to get worked up about. However others are putting a very different spin on it

Indeed, doesn’t seem like a massive deal. Typical Guido though, who will put a spin on anything.

Should also point out that the Guido article says that 4 people ended up in Kay's home. Unless they are in the same bubble then isn't that a breach of household mixing rules?

London is in tier 2 (despite the data clearly showing it should be in tier 3).

That depends on which part of the capital you live in. I'm in one of the lowest areas of London with new Covid cases, yet there are pockets, especially in East London where they're much higher and would agree that they should be in Tier 3 on a borough by borough casis.

Yes, but offically all of the London Boroughs are in Tier 2. The nearest Tier 3 zones are Slough, and all of Kent

A conveniently timed distraction to what was happening in the commons and elsewhere tonight me thinks.

I believe the initial club has outdoor spaces (in the form of a roof terrace) - an outdoor booking of 6 and one of 4 is acceptable under tier 2 restrictions...

Anyway, we don't know the full story and probably never will.

Surely they would know if they were breaking rules and wouldn't be so stupid?? They spend their days talking about it all for a living!

Trouble for Kay.
