First Published:

David Sweet, Conservative MP for Flamborough-Glanbrook, is calling to end the COVID-19 lockdown.

Sweet says the pandemic-related restrictions are causing huge psychological and economic damage and the public health measures should focus on vulnerable communities, not healthy individuals.

Sweet, who previously announced he is not seeking re-election, travelled to the U.S. earlier this year.
