9: But it has to be right that we take local action in response to local outbreaks - there is no point shutting down a city in one part of the country to contain an outbreak in another part of the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

8: I know that it will be hard going for people affected by these local measures. It isn’t easy, and for some it may seem unjust that people just a short distance away can live their lives closer to normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

7: Where justified by evidence, ministers will be able to close whole sectors or types of premises in an area, introduce local stay at home orders, prevent people entering or leaving defined areas, reduce maximum gathering size, or restrict transport systems serving local areas. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

6: Action by local councils will not always be sufficient, so next week we will publish draft regulations explaining how central government can intervene at a local level. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

5: From today, local authorities will have new powers in their areas, to close specific premises, shut public outdoor spaces, and cancel events. This will enable them to act more quickly in response to outbreaks, where speed is paramount. — PolitiTweet.org

4: In Leicester, we instituted a local lockdown in order to bear down on stubborn rates of infection. We will begin to relax the restrictions there next week. We can do so because the data is improving. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

3: In Bradford and Blackburn with Darwen, we identified troubling trends in the data and worked closely with the respective local authorities to increase testing and take targeted action. That work continues. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

2: This work is led by NHS Test and Trace in England. Our approach is already working. In Weston-super-Mare and Kirklees, we took swift and successful action to contain outbreaks at specific premises. — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson

1: Our understanding of the epidemiology of coronavirus and intelligence on where it is spreading has vastly improved. This means we can control it through targeted, local action. — PolitiTweet.org

As we return to the many pubs, restaurants and sports grounds that we love, we must continue to follow the COVID Secure guidelines. They may take some time to get used to, but by observing them we are all doing our bit to keep ourselves, our families and our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Police are always there for us, protecting our neighbourhoods and putting themselves at risk so that we can be safe. It’s a job that demands true courage, perseverance and devotion to others. I’m delighted that so many have answered the call to serve. https://t.co/OJuj0CZmmK — PolitiTweet.org

25 years ago, Europe witnessed the worst atrocity on its soil since the Second World War - the genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia. Today we mourn and remember the victims of those terrible crimes and stand with the families in their fight for justice. #Srebrenica25 https://t.co/YqZaYeUz9F — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to visit some local businesses in Uxbridge today, and see how they’ve been working hard to make their premises COVID-19 Secure. If you’re out this weekend be sure to follow the guidelines on social distancing. #StayAlert https://t.co/54eCyvOa9D — PolitiTweet.org
