Dear Jack,
We have a bumper crop of elections tomorrow across the UK: Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales, Local Elections in England, the Senedd Elections in Wales, the Scottish Parliament elections and the London Assembly elections in which I'm standing.
Many of these were supposed to have taken place last year, but were postponed. They are therefore the first chance since the crisis began last March for us to be heard at the ballot box.
I am writing to you all to ask you to please take this opportunity very seriously. Despite promises to the contrary only a few months ago, it is clear the Government is preparing to introduce vaccine passports. And despite previous great acclaim for the vaccine as a way out of the crisis, the Prime Minister's change of language suggests more lockdowns and restrictions are on the cards.
