Don't like him (biased by his ghastly stint as DPP). But he's fallen for the same mistake as most other leaders - Covid19 is here to stay. Like Flu, we cannot stop it. So protect and treat the vulnerable, particularly the elderly, and try to find a vaccine, as we did with flu.

Yes disappointing that the first real decision Starmer has made is to side with the panicking idiots. The guy is supposed to be "forensic", ffs. Again, just appalling opportunism. Will not get my vote now. Not that anyone else will either.

He demonstrated an incapability of seeing the forest for the trees as Director of the CPS with "believe the victim". Now he’s doing the same as Leader of the Opposition claiming to "follow the science" even when it's clear scientists are at loggerheads with each other.

Policies aside, he is spectacularly unappealing.

Good old Karma.

Keir wants a circuit breaker in other words a national lockdown. Job support scheme is just another term for furlough.

The treasury is pretty much empty and UK is borrowing money again, tax will be up higher next year.

Lockdown did nothing we still have Covid, people livelihoods are and were in jeopardy.

SAGE are in it just for their own agenda and back pockets.

Even the World Health Organisation are totally against another lockdown. They might as well say there's nothing we can do, until there's a vaccine.

Masks and face coverings do nothing and face shields still allow air to go inside the shield.

Based on his career history it is unlikely that he will offer anything other than more control and more state interference.
