Cabinet ministers are said to be angry that they have been excluded from plans regarding the prime minister’s address to the nation this evening, it has emerged.
Boris Johnson is set to chair an emergency Cobra committee meeting, involving Cabinet ministers and devolved leaders, this evening ahead of his 7pm speech in which he will set out how the UK will gradually lift lockdown restrictions.
But it is understood that the PM has pushed forward and made final decisions without consulting them first and already recorded aspects of his message yesterday, according to PA. The committee were set to discuss a 50-page document outlining the full plan to cautiously re-start the economy.
