the labour leader says boris johnson has been delaying the inevitable.s the important bit at the moment. this is where the government needs to get to, which is the stay—at—home message. that was the spirit of march, that's what got us through march. is messaging really going to be enough, given the fatigue that people are feeling about these restrictions? i think that messaging is critical. we haven't had that strong stay—at—home message. we did have it in march, and the vast majority of people complied with that. government insiders acknowledge people are fed up and patience is wearing thin when it comes to following rules for months on end. ministers promised to do everything they could to keep pupils in the classroom, but in plymouth today, parents were anticipating closures. i constantly feel in a state of flux. however, i need to work, and i work from home, so that's a big, a big consideration. what's more safe? the health of our children or their learning? it'sjust weighing it up, really. one former cabinet minister says urgent action is needed. i
