The Labour leader says Boris Johnson failed to deliver 'real clarity' and a 'sense of consensus' in his address to the nation
"We now have the prospect of England, Scotland and Wales with different messages and pulling in different directions."I appreciate there will be more detail tomorrow and there'll be further questions to be asked.Sam Coates - 'A lot of PM's speech seemed to change at last minute'
"That's in about 12 hours' time but they're being told at the same time to go back to work if possible not using public transport. That's a real logistical problem for tomorrow morning for millions of people." "Now is not the time for us to be putting in place a reversal of lockdown. It's far too early for that," he added.
She added:"The government still hasn't published guidance on how workers will be kept safe. So how can the prime minister - with 12 hours' notice - tell people they should be going back to sites and factories?Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison said:"The return to work must be safe. There must be no cutting corners, no playing fast and loose with employees' safety. The economy is important, but lives are too.
Teaching unions, meanwhile, have expressed concerns about a phased reopening of schools potentially starting within weeks.Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the NEU, called it"reckless", adding:"Coronavirus continues to ravage communities in the UK and the rate of COVID-19 infection is still far too great for the wider opening of our schools."
