This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it.

It is an insult to sacrifices made by the British people that Boris Johnson has chosen to take no action against Dominic Cummings.
The public will be forgiven for thinking there is one rule for the Prime Minister’s closest adviser and another for the British people.

The Prime Minister’s actions have undermined confidence in his own public health message at this crucial time.
Millions were watching for answers and they got nothing. That’s why the Cabinet Secretary must now launch an urgent inquiry.

The coronavirus outbreak is the most serious public health crisis our country has faced in a generation.

People are rightly anxious about the impact it will have on their loved ones and on their day-to-day lives. [THREAD]
It is more important than ever that the Government is providing clear communication to the public about the steps it is taking to mitigate the impact of the outbreak.
I am deeply concerned that over the past 48hrs ministers have been failing in their responsibilities to provide consistent and transparent public health advice.

There are three parts to today’s budget statement:

* The Corona emergency
* The underlying emergency in our economy after a decade of austerity
* The government’s failure to tackle injustice

[Thread]
1. On Corona – Measures to support businesses are welcome. But there are millions of workers on low wages and in insecure work that needed greater support. Decent sick pay must be extended to all and we need to do far more to protect our strained social care system.
2. The real message of this budget is that austerity was an unnecessary and failed experiment. We have a low growth economy, flat-lining productivity, low pay & hollowed out public services. This budget is a confession that austerity was always a political choice, & a poor one.
