@t0nyyates ...like a Green Paper, setting out options (eg relaxation of restrictions based on sector, age, sex or geography) with pros & cons. It’d be a grown up approach but doesn’t exactly smack of firm leadership & might provoke opposition to every option. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@t0nyyates I think partly this is a question of timing and my view is that it would be premature. I take the point on transparency about the trade offs. But quite difficult for a government to set out a plan & then keep revising it as evidence changes. Maybe there’s a case for something... — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

We will need an exit strategy but, at the moment, the Government is right not to talk about it just yet. Now is not the time to muddle messages. And any exit strategy will have to be based on evidence which is only just emerging. https://t.co/pACFzit7QW — PolitiTweet.org

And another one. Important to stress that most police officers are behaving sensibly but there are too many occasions when the police appear to be acting way beyond what the law says. https://t.co/JXMtb6NNHK — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

By and large, the police are doing a very good job in difficult circumstances. But there are a small minority whose behaviour has been wholly inappropriate. The threat made in this clip reveals worrying and unacceptable authoritarian instincts. https://t.co/sMJI3Lvla5 — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Of course, the Government needs an exit strategy but that won't be easy & will be dependent upon evidence that is, at the moment, unclear eg what tests work, how prevalent is the disease. Here's a depressing run through of options. https://t.co/sJ4YVYPMdB — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

If the Government starts talking about its exit strategy too early, there's a risk of mixed messages to the public. At the moment the message is #StayHomeSaveLives. Some evidence that it's working, don't want to muddle that & the public then not sticking to the plan. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

Understandable that the Government doesn't want to talk about its exit strategy until CV peak has passed. Interested to know what data are they looking at to assess when we've passed the peak? New cases, hospital admissions, deaths? Anything else? A combination or one key metric? — PolitiTweet.org
