It’s COVID Groundhog Day with cases spiking, the Government dithering and the NHS under critical pressure all over again. As Sajid Javid warns of 100,000 cases a day soon, health commentator Roy Lilley tells us why the Government’s“ Plan B” is in disarray. How fast should they move to tighter restrictions? And can they make it stick with a population that believes the pandemic is done?

• “What is it going to take for someone in the cabinet to say ‘Yes, we need Plan B’?.”
• “Sajid Javid standing up and lecturing the nation with a Union Jack behind him was absolutely ridiculous.”
• “Who actually runs the NHS? Is it Sajid Javid or the Daily Mail?”
• “Let’s have that firebreak and let’s enjoy Christmas.”
