Mistaken Bravado

 The government was adamant that there would be no lockdown and ridiculed Sir Keir Starmer when he suggested one. The government has now changed its tune, not for the first or last time.

The government is now adamant that schools and colleges are to remain open come hell or high water. This is mistaken bravado.

Office for National Statistics figures estimate that 1% of primary pupils and 2% of secondary pupils have the virus and that these levels have increased dramatically since wider opening in September.

Lives could be lost to save the face of the government. It is too high a price. 

I've written to my MP. So can you. It is best to use your own words because MPs filter anything which appears to be from a lobbying group.
