Now we face a much harder lockdown
- this Tory Govt were too slow to act, on health or on jobs
- people are suffering
- if move to greater restrictions govt needs to use time to fix testing and make a proper plan so they don’t keep repeating the same mistakes

3. It is desperately sad. So many people are going to suffer more. The consequences of this were always going to be tough but the extent of how bad a situation we are in now was both predictable and predicted.
4. Most important now - please, everyone, I beg, please stick to the rules. Lives depend on this. Livelihoods depend on it. These rules are to protect and save lives. Please - hands washed, masks on, social distancing. And be kind.
Thank you
Thank you
