Action is too late but national lockdown is the right thing given the extreme pressure on NHS.

But PM ducked some crucial issues. Click & collect for hospitality still allowed which drives mixing. Why not put comprehensive economic support package in place so can safely close?

There were some glaring omissions in PM’s statement.

There will be key workers risking their lives for us who find themselves with symptoms & forced to choose between protecting others & feeding their families.

Self-isolation must come with full pay to stop virus spreading

The PM did not say anything about return to ‘everyone in’ policy for rough sleepers. The virus is more dangerous & the weather is cold so more critical.

Councils desperately need funds to expand support.

Lives aren’t less valuable just because this has gone on for a long time
