Independent SAGE member @chrischirp absolutely fuming on LBC. She tells @eddiemair after today's press conference: "It just made me so angry because they've been doing this for weeks and weeks as if people just aren't obeying the rules. That's not what's happening... 1/

"...the rules are just much laxer this time than in March: we've got loads more people going to work, we've got more kids in school, we've got more shops allowed to be open. If they don't want people to go out and transmit the virus then change the rules and stop blaming people."

"At a time when we have the world's worst death rate, you're highlighting a tiny minority of people doing things which are already against the rules instead of saying...perhaps we have to be stricter about how many kids are in schools, about making workplaces safer."

"These are the things that are creating the current high numbers, it's not house parties, so why not deal with the actual problem instead of trying to have these big headlines about house parties when that's just not the issue."

Eddie: Do you think it's a diversionary tactic?
CP: Yes, because when have they ever taken responsibility for anything? I find it so unbelievable: it's never the government's fault, ever. How can you expect people to follow you and be governed by you if you can't...

...learn from your mistakes, if you can't admit you've ever made a mistake? I just find it so irresponsible. I just can't get over it."
