The Act suspends elections, enlarges ministerial power, suspends the most fundamental freedoms - all purportedly for public health. I do not use the word lightly but
We’ve just been through a peak of the virus without Coronavirus Act Sch.21 (test/quarantine powers) being needed yet they’ve naturally, as with all extreme powers, been abused + wielded against the most vulnerable people.
If Johnson keeps Cummings, it will require a lot of Government doublespeak, and a horrendously supine parliament for such extreme powers to remain on the statute books any longer.
