Some context on the significance of tmrw in our national life: it will be only the third PM’s address to the nation on Coronavirus

The 1st was in March when he announced lockdown; the 2nd was in May when he set out the roadmap to recovery. And now, the second wave brings the 3rd

What we know now for sure –
Pubs to shut at 10pm from Thursday in England
PM to give another rare national address to country tomorrow night
No 10 believes narrow but real chance to slow spread before more serious measures like wider closures required

The reason why Sir Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty won't take questions today is because it would expose the marketing and PR approach to the pandemic taken by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson, as opposed to the scientific and much-needed approach.https://t.co/J6wZfdwIoh

Acting early, rather than imposing stringent measures later, is the right thing to do for both our health, and the economy.

Well this is stunningly cynical.

The sting in the tail of @BorisJohnson’s “moonshot”? The tests will be private & you’ll have to pay for them yourself, folks.

So much for key workers on the minimum wage.

Denmark, for example, now has night-time curfew, guidance that people should stick to social groups of around 10, and an absolute gathering limit of 50.

People could live like that for some time if it came to it.

That’s thinking ahead and showing foresight.
