Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Delbert]

BBC and Sky News both saying Johnson is considering new national lockdown restrictions which could be imposed in England as early as next week. Sky said cabinet ministers were angry they had not made aware of the alleged U-turn.

Raab was interviewed on Sky yesterday saying he disagreed with Starmer’s call for a national lockdown. Now it appears his own boss thinks there should be one too but didn’t tell him. This government really is a disaster.

Johnson had probably just come from a meeting with scientists when that story was leaked by "Whitehall sources" - wait until he meets with his Cabinet again (especially those with links to the Treasury) and then there'll be stories about how there's not going to be a lockdown.

I'm taking the piss there, but it does have a basis of truth in it - our "strongman" leader does tend to agree with the last thing he was told.
