People don't won't lockdown because Boris Johnson lie lie lie said I pay you if you go in to lock down all businesses People falling for is trust he only wants people VOTEs not to come out lockdown cause don't whant to pay them—-) he is undermining peace shit

This is stupid now. Initial lockdown was needed to get our ducks in row, prepare for it, study the virus etc but this constant lockdown is horrible. Shd we stay shut forever?

A second lockdown would no doubt reduce deaths from Covid. But what would it do to deaths caused by undiagnosed cancer; by isolation and loneliness amongst the elderly; by a decimated economy, wrecked livelihoods and a crashed NHS? Starmer's political opportunism knows no bounds.

RUN HIM

horrible

Keir Starmer urges PM to impose 'circuit breaker' lockdown on EnglandLabour leader says Boris Johnson must act to prevent NHS being overwhelmed It's the job of a responsible leader to make the big decisions. That doesn't mean purely following the advice of scientists. It means looking at the economy, at the NHS, at jobs and livelihoods. The balancing act is the difficult part, and that seems way beyond Starmer. At least he's actually taken a clear position this time. I think it's the wrong position but I'm pleased he's actually doing something. The end of Starmer's honeymoon period. The public understands a 2-3 week lockdown will simply put us back in exactly the same position 4 weeks later - as SAGE has admitted.
