If Reicher’s representative here then iSage and sage seem to have arrived at the same, IMO sensible, position on “Plan B”:

“Key point from @ProfJohnDrury about the SAGE position
It is clear that we need a winter Covid plan.
However some things that are in the plan (vaccine passports) perhaps shouldn't be.
And some things that aren't in the plan (supporting self isolation) should be.
It is almost as if Plan B has been drawn up and is described by the Government in ways that make it deliberately unattractive so as to justify their 'do-nothing' stance.
Ask 'do you want restriction and lockdown' people say no.
Ask 'do you want protection and support' say yes.”
Although Reicher, unlike Sage, skips over the importance of testing, despite the recent Immensa Labs fiasco. And, sorry, but this is typical of iSage. Immensa is a gift to iSage: it demonstrates, unequivocally, that we’re way off herd immunity, that testing works *and needs to be improved*, and that the government is acting dishonestly and negligently. It looks to me like the most significant event in all of this since the summer at least, it could easily be used to force the government’s hand on a number of vital issues, and iSage are still pursuing their vendetta against the largely blameless JCVI.
And where are Labour?
