Reform UK is proposing to ban the burka and all face coverings in public to aid integration and safety, Zia Yusuf, the party’s "Shadow" Home Secretary, announced today.

A leading proponent of facemasks during Covid, Oxford's Prof Trish Greenhalgh, has changed her mind, signing a letter that dismisses surgical masks as useless. The catch? Everyone should wear respirators instead, she says.

As the 'Superflu' fizzles out like a damp squib, the BBC and its experts have been left with egg on their faces (again). Prof Carl Heneghan and Dr Tom Jefferson highlight the worst offenders and their flip-flopping views.

A committed hardcore of forever maskers and Zero Covid fanatics continues to live as though it's 2020, refusing to share any air with other people lest they get sick. The Telegraph investigates this strange new cult.

Care delivered by masked people is frightening. It's literally faceless. Smiles are life-giving. Face masks harmed care home residents in ways no health and safety apparatchik can ever understand, says Simon Cavadino.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said there is no need to mandate mask-wearing for "everyone around the country" "at this stage" as "the time has not yet come for everyone to wear masks".

The mask mafia is back. The UK faces "a tidal wave" of 'super flu' and people must "get back into the habit" of mask-wearing, says one senior NHS mandarin. We have one defence, says Dr Gary Sidley: do not comply.

Health officials are urging the public to wear face masks “when unwell” as we enter a flu season “like the Covid period”.

Covid lockdowns have been linked to a surge in babies and toddlers suffering from speech and other developmental issues, the largest study to date has found.

Lockdowns could have been "avoided entirely" during Covid had ministers more quickly imposed "stringent restrictions" such as social distancing and face masks, the COVID-19 Inquiry has concluded.
