Not saying Boris isn't a cunt - he totally is but I doubt this national rule was put in place a month ago, with the view to allowing Boris to spend Christmas with his inlaws.
Yeah this. We shouldn't be castigating the Government for providing a much needed lifeline to new parents. Weird flex by the FT - if they want to find some shit to fling at Johnson it's not like there isn't plenty of ammo.

Did some digging.
Childcare support bubble has been in since the start but you cannot stay overnight etc and must be for childcare only (ie dropping child off and collecting later).
Child under one support bubble was introduced, and reported on, at the end of the last lockdown (November 23rd) so well before the announcement about Christmas on December 19th.
