Abandoning 'stay at home' for a completely ambiguous message, replacing a red colour scheme with green, combined with newspapers splashing on imminent freedom based on government briefings - all point in one direction, and that is lockdown collapsing.
It gets worse. The Conservatives haven't discussed this with the Welsh or Scottish Governments in advance. Both had to find out from the Sunday papers, and both are sticking to 'STAY HOME'. Another grim chapter in a horrendously mismanaged national disaster.
Let's just be honest about what the new approach means.

It means sending working class people back to work while middle class professionals can keep working from home.

This, in a pandemic which is significantly more likely to kill the poor than the affluent.
This isn't 'SAVE LIVES', it's 'SAVE CAPITALISM'.
