Could the real prime minister please stand up? Please stand up. Please stand up, and well go ahead and resign.
The decision to restrict movement and gathering last night, for me is clearly the correct public health decision. This appears to be a serious mutation - which at best has significantly increased infectiousness. The need for such a decision however, is a total failure of government.
Prime minister, please resign.
The mass exodus from London is clearly terrible for public health. But I couldn't criticise the individuals - they're now paying for the government's mistakes. Plus they're following the laws to the letter - and from a government who has openly voted to have breaking international law an option open to them, any criticism from any member of government should by all rights fall on deaf ears. What did the government honestly think would happen?
Prime minister, pack your bags, give us all an early Christmas present, and please resign.
But don't bypass the hearings and accountability that will need to happen.
