The Liberal Democrats have called for teachers to be vaccinated against coronavirus after the government admitted schools were the epicentre of high community transmission.

Daisy Cooper, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Education, has written a letter to Gavin Williamson and Matt Hancock to ask them to vaccinate teachers as part of category seven.

Responding to Trump supporting protestors storming US Capitol in Washington, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for foreign affairs Layla Moran said:

"The scenes coming out of Washington tonight are an attack on democracy. Liberal Democrats call on Boris Johnson to condemn the violent actions of President Trump's supporters breaking into the Capitol. An attack on democracy anywhere is an attack on democracy everywhere."
