Chris #Whitty says he’d wear a mask: 1. Indoors when busy or in close proximity to others 2. when competent authorities ask him to 3. out of common courtesy to others if they feel uncomfortable That’s the *medical* advice we should follow on masks. Not what Gov’t ministers say.

10/ But Varoufakis and MeRA25 will be the only left-wing, pro-European opposition that the country will desperately need during Mitsotakis's premiership. Syriza will be unable to fulfil that role, having voted for all the measures that New Democracy will and wants to implement.
