Reports suggest Boris Johnson has finalised plans without consulting the rest of the Cabinet ahead of this evening’s speech
But it is understood that the PM has pushed forward and made final decisions without consulting them first and already recorded aspects of his message yesterday, according to PA. The committee were set to discuss a 50-page document outlining the full plan to cautiously re-start the economy. Reports have also suggested tension between Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the PM, after more than 25 million goggles for frontline NHS workers were found to be inadequate.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the first she’d heard of the new slogan was in newspaper reports and insisted she would not change the ‘stay at home’ message for Scotland, ‘given the critical point we are at’.Wales’ health minister, Vaughan Gething, also said there had not been any agreement or discussion of the new slogan with the other nations and said the Welsh Government’s message remains the same – to remain at home.
