Coronavirus UK: While the Labor Party demands a new closure? – BBC Newsnight

The leader of the UK opposition, Labor Sir Sir Keir Starmer, has called for a short two- or three-week blockade or “switch” in England to keep the rate of rise in coronavirus under control. Please subscribe HERE

He said the measures were not working and that another route was needed to prevent “sleepwalking … in a harsh winter”. His call came after documents were requested by government scientific advisers on September 21 to take such measures. Meanwhile, forty-two Conservative MPs revolted and voted against government regulations related to local coverage of bars and restaurants in England at 10pm. Where does the intervention of Sir Keir Starmer leave UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson? And is there little time left for the government to stop the spread of a second wave?
