#CoronavirusUpdate

🔴 Labour has said little about what its alternative lockdown policy would be so far, but Sir Keir Starmer and his shadow cabinet are understood to be unhappy with the new "three-tier" system.

Sir Keir begins his speech as Boris Johnson did yesterday, with a warning about the latest coronavirus figures.

He says: "The figures are stark and I'm afraid they're heading in the wrong direction."

Sir Keir Starmer says the Government's interventions have been too weak and calls for a circuit breaker.

"The Government's plan simply isn't working. Another course is needed. #coronavirus

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
This is what Sir Keir Starmer has called for:

🔴 Pubs, bars and restaurants to be closed

🔴 Working from home

🔴 Schools to remain open

🔴 Business to be compensated due to "sacrifice"

🔴 Household mixing limited

Speaking directly to Boris Johnson, Sir Keir Starmer says:

"You know that the science backs this approach. You know that the restrictions you’re introducing won’t be enough" #coronavirus #Covid19UK

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
This is the most significant intervention from Sir Keir Starmer against Boris Johnson:

🗓️Labour wants a 2 or 3-week "circuit breaker"

👍Labour will not vote against the three tire system

👉Sir Keir believes the Government has lost control

💷Gov should bail out businesses
