The other options? Flatly deny that we should’ve locked down earlier. Looks implausible. Evade the question? ‘Too early to say’. In truth, it isn’t too early to say and it looks, well, evasive. /4 — PolitiTweet.org

It’d be the grown up answer but much harder for Ministers to say ‘we made the decision on the basis of the evidence at the time and the advice we received’. The likely response - will you apologise? do you have thousands of deaths on your conscience? shouldn’t you resign /3 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been critical of the Government’s performance but I have sympathy for them on this point. On the timing of the lockdown, the SAGE minutes show they did follow the scientific advice. But it’s a great pity that Ministers don’t believe they can acknowledge the reality. /5 — PolitiTweet.org
