PM’s mess of a statement has caused more confusion than clarity, creating worrying uncertainty about the return to work & how safety will be assured, opening up divisions between the UK’s nations and displaying a complete lack of clarity about what activities are now allowable.

Some context for tonight's Gov't announcement:
In May so far:
▪️The UK has suffered the SECOND highest number of recorded Coronavirus deaths in the word
▪️The UK has had the FOURTH highest number of recorded new cases in the world
It's not the time to ease the lockdown.

Today I challenged Boris Johnson on how this crisis has exposed grotesque levels of inequality and vulnerability.
Now he has given unscrupulous employers carte blanche to force people back to work when it is not safe, putting more lives in danger.

The fifth richest household in the neighbourhood is on fire & the homeowner is instructing the firefighters to rescue the safe before their family members.
This is an analogy of how UK politics works.

Many of our members are deeply concerned about the risks of a second-spike in COVID-19 cases. That's why we're clear that until case numbers are much lower, we should not consider reopening schools – good to see our concerns making front page news today https://t.co/x6QjnL5AAS

We all want schools and colleges to reopen but this must only happen when it is safe to do so.
