The Prime Minister has been given a grilling for telling seaside towns to ‘show some guts’ days before a major incident was declared at a packed Bournemouth beach

said: ‘The Prime Minister can’t just bat away challenge. These are matters of life and death, other people’s livelihoods.‘An example of this, last week the Member for Hove asked the Prime Minister how can seaside towns be expected to cope with likely influx of visitors to beaches and parks during the hot weather?‘The Prime Minister replied, show some guts. Two days later Bournemouth beach was closed with 500,000 visitors, a major incident was declared.

He added: ‘I support the easing of restrictions but unlike the Prime Minister, I’m not blind to the risks and I don’t think anybody else should be. Of the 22,000 new cases of Covid infections per week in mid June, just 5,000 were reached and asked to provide details. So now three quarters of people with Covid-19 are not being reached. How does the Prime Minister explain that?’

Sir Keir also asked the PM why the Government was ‘so slow to act’ to implement a lockdown in Leicester after it knew of a spike in virus cases.
