Prime Minister Boris Johnson during a media briefing in Downing Street, London, on coronavirus
THE “reckless” government was accused today of putting the country at risk following reports that it ignored scientists’ advice to implement a full “circuit-breaker” coronavirus lockdown.
The fallout came as MPs were poised to vote on the 10pm pub and restaurant curfew and the so-called “rule of six.” The vote took place after the Morning Star went to print.
Before the vote, a number of MPs — including Tories — voiced concerns after it emerged that the government dismissed suggestions from its own scientists, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), to have a two-week national lockdown.
