He just said there no more time
to give Government.

like SAGE asked for

[Starmer calls for 2-3 week circuit break lockdown,
in line with SAGE recommendation
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has warned
the government "has lost control of infections
and is no longer following scientific advice".
"There's no longer time to give this prime minister
the benefit of the doubt,"
Sir Keir said in a televised news conference.

He said the short lockdown should
include a "temporary set of clear and
effective restrictions designed to get the R rate down".

Schools would remain open, Mr Starmer says.]

how can schools remain open in a circuit breaker, he is a fool

It would seem the scientific advice can accommodate that.

He hasn't the full data however to really dictate a policy on it.
All the information is needed such as the government has.

However so do the scientific advisors have the full information, they wanted the circuit breaker plan.
So I'd give it proper consideration and all round the UK consultation.

Lib Dems seem to want it too actually.

He wants it over a 2 week or so half term.
So the schools would be off.

NewsnightHD bbc2
did a long report, the Labour folks who do not like Keir.
Keir saying Corbynism must be gone and behind them?

One Union Official
said Peter Mandelson should go away and count his Gold?

After the Report the Union said he had nothing to
do with him being Jewish?

So all we get from that is that Abbott doesn't like him, which is a big plus in my book

all i can say is that anyone that becomes leader of a party or indeed becomes an mp of any political party has ambition ... so to hold that against him is the height of hypocrisy

[joeysteele]

I cannot really see any difficulties with Len McCluskey or even moreso criticism from Diane Abbott, doing anything other than actually being a positive for Keir Starmer.
