We cannot continue with the current lockdown restrictions while waiting for a vaccine - there may never be one. That’s why we need a recovery plan. Some observations for @ConHome 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
It will be a long process for the UK to return to its pre-coronavirus state - better to think in terms of a ‘recovery plan’ than an ‘exit strategy’ 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
As the Government develops a coronavirus recovery plan, it needs to be as open as possible with the public about the trade-offs we face. The Government will stand a better chance of taking the public with it if it keeps them informed 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
The Government must be careful to only make promises - whether on PPE, testing or any other matter - it is confident it can keep. If it can’t make a promise, it should explain why not 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
A significant testing, contact tracing and isolation programme will be a key part of any coronavirus recovery plan. We need to rapidly increase our testing capability and our ability to link this to a contact tracing system 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
In order to recover from the downturn, we will need to increase economic growth by investing in R&D, education and skills. The last thing we want to do is increase the cost of living for people by putting up their taxes. 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
Until we have a vaccine, we are going to have to live with this virus while enabling economic recovery. Ministers will need to exercise political judgement and take a series of tough decisions - sooner rather than later 👇 conservativehome.com/platform/2020/…
