UK coronavirus death toll hits 35,507 after 166 more die in England - The Sun

CORONAVIRUS fatalities in the UK have risen to 35,704 after 363 more deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours.

A total of 248,293 people have now tested positive for Covid-19 across Britain - up 2,472 cases from yesterday.

Today's death toll refers to those who have died in all settings - including care homes, hospices and the wider community.

The latest rise in deaths confirmed by the Department of Health is smaller than it was yesterday, when 545 more deaths were logged.

Today's figures are a decline from last Wednesday's 494.

It's the lowest number of deaths recorded on a Wednesday in the UK for the last eight weeks.

The total number of cases Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden announced today is 525 lower than yesterday - but the discrepancy was not explained.

In England, the total number of Covid-19 deaths rose to 25,079 today - up 166 from yesterday.

NHS England confirmed the patients were aged between 33 and 99 years old and five had no known underlying health conditions.

In Scotland, a total of 2,184 patients have died after testing positive for coronavirus - up by 50 from yesterday.

In Wales, 14 more deaths were recorded overnight, bringing the overall tally there to 1,238.

There have been five more deaths in Northern Ireland, bringing their death toll to 494.

However, new analysis published today suggests Britain's overall death toll from the virus is far higher than the total reported by the Government so far - and has already passed 44,500.

It comes as:

Boris Johnson today promised the UK's "world beating" Coronavirus track and trace operation will be in place from June 1st.

He said that it would enable the UK to change lockdown rules - if the scientific advice said it was safe to do so.

It means that from then onwards, anyone who is diagnosed with coronavirus should be then passed over to a team who will contact everyone who they were in touch with.

It is hoped that it will stop the spread of the infection to others, and help people isolate who may be worried they could have caught it.

It comes as the escalating row between ministers and teaching unions has reached a boiling point as some schools could defy plans to reopen on June 1.

Justice Secretary Robert Buckland today revealed he was not expecting everyone to be back by then, with at least 18 councils vowing to rebel against the Government plans.

Officials have instructed schools to get ready for reception, year one and six to return from the start of June, if it's safe to still do so.

They have issued advice on how to make sure classrooms and playgrounds are as secure as possible - including maximum class sizes of 15 and keeping desks further apart.

However, the plans have sparked a fierce backlash with unions warning teachers not to go, and now councils all over Britain saying they won't force schools to reopen.

Brexit trade deal on brink as Barnier hits back at UK's 'tone' - EU warns of stalemate - Express

The Frenchman said David Frost’s attempt to convey Britain’s frustrations through letter was not an appropriate way to conduct negotiations. The rant came after Boris Johnson’s chief negotiator with the European Union wrote to the bloc to complain about its sub-standard offer for the future relationship. In a letter to Downing Street, Mr Barnier wrote: “I share your commitment to helping the process move forward together.

“I do not think, however, that an exchange of letters regarding the substance of the negotiations is necessarily the best way to discuss on substantial points.

“It cannot be a substitute for serious engagement and detail negotiations and, in particular, I would not like the tone that you have taken to impact the mutual trust and constructive attitude that is essential between us.”

Yesterday, Mr Frost accused Brussels of attempting to fob Britain off with a sub-standard trade deal, one that falls short of its offers to other third countries.

It sparked fury within Mr Barnier’s camp, prompting an urgent and public rebuttal to be issued within 24 hours.

Mr Frost, the head of the Prime Minister’s Taskforce Europe, yesterday published 12 draft legal trade texts in a bid to deadlock between London and Brussels.

But in a letter to Brussels, he said the talks had stalled because the bloc had offered the UK a sub-standard trade deal.

Mr Frost wrote: “What is on offer is not a fair free trade relationship between close economic partners, but a relatively low-quality trade agreement coming with unprecedented EU oversight of our laws and institutions.

“We find it perplexing that the EU, instead of seeking to settle rapidly a high-quality set of agreements with a close economic partner, is instead insisting on additional, unbalanced, and unprecedented provisions in a range of areas, as a precondition for agreement between us.”

He said the bloc’s proposal for a regulatory level-playing field on state aid is just one “particularly egregious example”.

“You must see that this is simply not a provision any democratic country could sign, since it would mean that the British people could not decide our own rules to support our own industries in our own Parliament,” he added.

MUST READ: Huge frustration in Brussels after Gove's Brexit announcement say BBC

Cabinet Office minister Michale Gove today launched his plans for the Northern Ireland.

But he signalled the Government was prepared to row back on promises, and suggested there will be customs checks on goods crossing the Irish sea.

Mr Gove said he would take steps to ensure the island of Ireland maintained its “disease-free status”.

Border inspections will be carried out on goods crossing from Great Britain to Belfast.

He said: “Our proposals will deliver unfettered access for Northern Ireland businesses to the whole of the UK market.”

In the statement, Gove vowed: “What the protocol does not do is create – nor does it include any provision for creating – any kind of international border in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”

British negotiators published the plans amid fears that Mr Barnier is struggling to grab the attention of EU leaders.

They fear the Brussels bureaucrat will be unable to ask for tweaks to his mandate for the trade talks because governments are too busy with the coronavirus pandemic.

The papers include blueprints for future relationships in trade in goods, fisheries, aviation and energy cooperation.

Cabinet Office minister Michale Gove today launched his plans for the Northern Ireland.
