Last Wednesday Sir Keir Starmer put pressure on the government to deliver a clear exit strategy to the UK.
He said: “The public need to know what will happen in the next phase. On the exit strategy, I want to be absolutely clear with the First Secretary of State [Dominic Raab]: I am not asking for lockdown to be lifted.

He said that members of the public and businesses would need time to prepare for the next phase of restrictions on everyday life, adding: “France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland and Wales have all published exit plans of one sort or another.”
Mr Raab insisted that the Government would not announce its next steps until the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) said it would be safe to do so. He added: “If he thinks he knows better than Sage and the scientists, he needs to explain that.”
