David Gauke @DavidGauke
The Government’s approach to further restrictions this year of “this far but no further” suggests more focus on Party unity than the scientific advice. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke
Not going to lose any sleep over the loss of Boris Johnson's authority but I suspect that opposition to tightening restrictions will not look very clever before long. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Plan B isn't perfect. It could be more effective in reducing transmission & I suspect that within days it will be evident that it doesn't go far enough. But I think MPs should support it today (and Ministers should be very cautious about ruling out further measures). — PolitiTweet.org

@Arron_banks Maybe you know more about this than the Government’s scientific & medical advisers but forgive me for being a little sceptical about that. And, by the way, it’s ‘omicron’ not ‘omnicron’. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
The paradox here is that the worse the news on Omicron the greater the vulnerability to the charge of failing to take the necessary steps to slow its spread BUT the easier it will be for the PM to see off his Conservative critics. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @pmdfoster: Where @BorisJohnson finds himself politically trapped by the same simplism to which he pandered to win office. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
Because, if things are as perilous as the PM suggested this evening (and on this issue I don’t question his sincerity), Plan B is a very minimalist response. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
If that’s right, you’d think that his Tory COVID-restrictions critics would go quiet (as they did in January 2021). But he’ll be vulnerable to the criticism that a more credible PM prepared to stand up to his backbenchers could’ve taken much more effective action now. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
One reason for Johnson’s fragile political position is that many Conservative MPs think he’s over-reacting to Omicron. By the time Parliament returns in the New Year, there’s a good chance that public opinion will think he under-reacted. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke
Tbf to the PM, when there’s uncertainty with a reasonable worst-case expectation of a disastrous outcome, taking a cautious approach is sensible even if it turns out that the risk doesn’t materialise. That outcome doesn’t make the original choice wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
David Gauke @DavidGauke
The scale of the PM’s problem with his Parliamentary party over COVID rules will likely depend on what happens with Omicron. If the news is bad, much of the criticism will disappear. If the news is good & it’s much milder, his critics will say he got it wrong & they were right. — PolitiTweet.org
