EU ‘project of white privilege’ former MEP erupts as Brexit hailed for ‘global outlook’ – Daily Express

Former MEP Lord Kamall has branded theEuropean Uniona project of white privilege" as he talked about the different COVID-19 self-isolation rules for overseas students compared to their British counterparts. Boris Johnson this weeksignaled tougher overseas travel rules and self-isolation for those without jabs.

Speaking in the House of Lords, Lord Kamall said: As someone whose family comes from outside the EU and somebody who's taught in universities.

And recognise the great asset that there is and then the great advantage there is being open to the world and global Britain.

I do share the frustration.

You know, we yes, we have left the EU, very much a project of white privilege moving to a more global outlook.

He continued: And it's really important that now we focus on the world generally.

So the issue is quite technical at the moment.

One of the things for the test and trace system to work is the fact that you need access to the underlying data and verification.

We will look at a number of different options on how we achieve that.

Boris Johnson has warned that travel restrictions and self-isolation rules for those who come into contact with positive Covid cases will be toughened for people who do not get their booster jab.

It came after the Joint Commitee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on Monday recommended that the booster programme should be extended to include people aged 40 to 49.

Mr Johnson told a Downing St press conference: Its very clear that getting three jabs getting your booster will become an important fact and it will make life easier for you in all sorts of ways, and we will have to adjust our concept of what constitutes a full vaccination to take account of that. And I think that is increasingly obvious.

He added: As we can see from whats happening, the two jabs sadly do start to wane, so weve got to be responsible and weve got to reflect that fact in the way we measure what constitutes full vaccination.
