The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has urged Boris Johnson to avoid delay by imposing new nationwide restrictions in England within the next 24 hours to tackle the “out of control” virus.

After the prime minister earlier on Sunday raised the prospect of tougher Covid-19 restrictions amid concerns over pressure on the NHS, Starmer intervened to argue action must be taken immediately and that it was no good hinting at curbs to come in future.

Will Mr Johnson accept the advice from the member for Holborn and St Pancras or will he double down and force schools to open tomorrow?

If they are gonna have a proper lockdown they all need to make it proper unlike this shambles that’s been going on although I don’t think it’ll work again. It’s just like repeating the same thing over and over hoping for a different result!

What's proper?

The point of lockdowns from the beginning were to prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed. Not to eradicate the virus.

First lockdown was very effective.
A similar lockdown would be effective though compliance might be awful compared to the first one.
