THE coronavirus pandemic has been exceptionally difficult for everyone living in Britain, and nowhere more so than the city of Leicester, which has borne the brunt of the government’s incompetence.
Leicester has been under the harshest lockdown or enhanced restrictions longer than any other area in the UK — the city had more Covid-19 deaths than any other part of England and Wales in July 2020.
According to the most up-to-date ONS statistics, my constituency of Leicester East has, tragically, suffered 155 deaths, although the actual figure is likely to be considerably higher as the ONS has only published data up to December 2020.
