7:25 UK cautious about easing lockdown Norman Smith Assistant political editor Prime Minister Boris Johnson is extremely cautious about removing the UK lockdown. He met Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary who has been replacing the prime minister as he recovers from coronavirus, at Chequers on Friday. And the overarching message emerging from that was to avoid a second peak of the virus by easing the lockdown too early. All the language now appears at the cautious end of the spectrum, talking not of easing but of modifications to the lockdown and referencing Boris Johnson's initial assertion that it would take three months to turn the tide. That would push us towards June. The fear is not just the obvious health risk but also the fear of damage to the economy and that it would be that much greater if you had to reimpose the lockdown. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-52349779? It makes me laugh that he is assistant to La Kuenssberg, although he is older (he is 60 and she is 43) and more experienced. Where is she btw? |
