I travel in to work sometimes from teir 3 to teir 4, but I was teir 2 last week. Am I still allowed to do that? I tend to go in to make sure things keep working for people at home. Is that OK? Only I have three people straight on to Teams asking if they should go in tomorrow. All have things to do that are hard but not impossible to do remotely. What should I tell them? They all saw the speech, perhaps they were not listening hard enough?

Come on, the speech was as clear as possible: there are no more tiers, all of England is in full lockdown, stay home unless you positively have to leave (including if it is absolutely impossible for you to work from home).

He said that in rather clear terms.

You answered your own question when you conceded that it was possible to carry out the work remotely and that your trips were not essential.

>(including if it is absolutely impossible for you to work from home).

If that is what you got from there speech then it was very misleading indeed.

> from .gov..you may leave home to...go to work, or provide voluntary or charitable services, if you cannot reasonably do so from home

That is a world of difference from 'absolutely impossible.'

I also did not say that my trips were not essential, that is just as big a misunderstanding as you made above.
