The local lockdown restrictions have left Leicester as a place where "you can check out but you can never leave", according to the shadow health secretary.

Jonathan Ashworth, Labour MP for Leicester South, referenced the Eagles' classic Hotel California in criticising the conditions, saying the government must listen to residents and let them know what it will take to lift the limits.

Yesterday was 100 days since the local lockdown was put in place around Leicester.

Mr Ashworth said: "I just don't think the response from ministers has been satisfactory, and it does feel now like they've slightly forgotten us. Leicester is Hotel California - you can check out but you can never leave, but enough is enough."

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care told the BBC the government was constantly reviewing epidemiological evidence.

"This is a crucial moment as we tackle coronavirus and the restrictions in place delicately balance local views, public health advice, and the economy," the spokesperson added.

MAG said it did not expect passenger demand to recover until 2023.

Chief executive Charlie Cornish said: "By now, we would have hoped to see a strong and sustained recovery in demand.

"Unfortunately, the resurgence of the virus across Europe and the reintroduction of travel restrictions have meant this has not happened."
