BBC Newsnight reports health officials investigating new potential virus mutations in parts of the UK ⬇️
One (based in Liverpool) contains the mutation (E484K) common in the South Africa/Brazil strains (it's not believed to have been imported but instead developed here). We're not talking about a huge number but instead a few dozen cases based in one hospital.

Sad news about the death of Bagatelle frontman Liam Reilly RIP. His voice was a constant on 1980’s FM radio and ‘Summer in Dublin’ is a perfect song which captures an era.
