Nicola Sturgeon must abandon her plan to publish an independence referendum Bill before May's Holyrood election as Scotland tackles the mutant strain of Covid, Douglas Ross has demanded. The Scottish Tory leader said the First Minister's plan to publish draft legislation for another separation vote was "more absurd than ever" as Covid cases surge to a new high. He argued it would be "irresponsible in the extreme" to divert civil servants to working on the Bill when their attention should be focused on vaccine delivery, education and protecting jobs. His call was echoed by Willie Rennie, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader, who said her independence campaign should be "locked down" with the rest of the country. Mr Rennie pointed out that Ms Sturgeon suspended her campaign for separation during the first lockdown and argued she must do so again when "the country and the NHS are in an even more perilous situation."

Airlines flying into the UK will be required to bar passengers from boarding if they do not have a negative Covid test within 72 hours of departure. Every traveller coming into any UK port or airport will be expected to have a negative PCR test in order to enter the UK as part of a significant toughening of border controls. It will cover all countries, including those with travel corridors under which peoples are currently exempted from quarantine on arrival in the UK. Although the policy has yet to be finalised, it is expected that travellers coming from "red list" countries with high rates of Covid will still have to quarantine on arrival even if their 72-hour test is negative. Those required to self-isolate will be able to leave quarantine if a second test, which can be taken from the fifth day, proves negative. All arrivals will still have to fill out the passenger locator form and will be liable to £10,000 fines if they breach their quarantine. Thomas Cook, Tui and Virgin Holidays confirmed on Tuesday that they have cancelled their flight schedules until mid-February. All three operators will refund customers or allow them to reschedule their flights for later in the year amid what Virgin called "extraordinary circumstances". The moves to tighten restrictions follow criticism of the failure to close borders at the start of the pandemic on the eve of the first lockdown. There are also concerns about the risks from new strains of the virus, in particular the South African variant which some scientists fear could limit the effectiveness of current vaccines.

Democrat Raphael Warnock defeats Republican Kelly Loeffler President will address 'Save America' rally on Wednesday Trump should not come to Scotland to escape inauguration, says Sturgeon Meet the Democratic odd couple aiming to win Biden the Senate Police officer who shot Jacob Blake will not face charges Subscribe to The Telegraph for a month-long free trial Democrat challenger Raphael Warnock has beaten incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler in one of the two Georgia run-off elections, NBC News and the Associated Press have projected. In the second race, Democrat Jon Ossoff has also taken a narrow lead over Republican David Perdue, with 98 per cent of the vote counted. Rev. Warnock's victory is the first time a Democrat has won a Senate race in Georgia in 20 years and gives the Democrats the chance to regain control of the Senate for at least the first two years of the Biden presidency. If Mr Ossoff holds on to his lead, that would mean the Senate is split 50-50, with Vice-President elect Kamala Harris holding the deciding vote. An exit poll of more than 5,200 voters, taken on election day and during early voting, found that half had voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election, and half for Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Mike Pence will not interfere in the result of the US election, his advisers said, despite growing pressure from President Trump to help overturn his defeat. Mr Trump has asked the Vice President to block Congress's certification of the November election results in an ongoing attempt to stay in power, after dozens of lawsuits by his campaign challenging election results had failed in US courts.

People who have been infected by coronavirus are probably immune from the new UK variant, the Government's chief scientific officer has said. The variant, which emerged in Kent in September, is thought to be between 50 and 74 per cent more infectious than the strain that was dominant last year and is likely to be behind the recent upswing in cases. Scientists had feared that changes to the virus would make it harder for the immune systems of those who had already been infected to fight back, and could stop a vaccine working effectively. However, speaking at a Downing Street press conference, Sir Patrick Vallance said it appeared that people still had protection if they had already been infected with the virus. "What we know is that the 22 changes in the genetic code made the virus more transmissible, but as far as we can see it doesn't make it hidden from the immune system so if you had an infection before, the evidence is that you probably neutralise this virus as well," he said. "The expectation is the same for the vaccine."
