Quick thread: I complimented @MattHancock last week for his handling of press conference, but his over-reaction threatening tone re closing parks/banning exercise is unhelpful & counterproductive. He has pre Corona form on illiberalism 1/3
ie his enthusiasm for ever-expanding list of censoring online harms. This article in @CityAM on possible row w Rishi Sunak on when to lift lockdown, may reflect tensions at heart of government that aren& #39;t scientific but reflect political judgements. WE must judge accordingly 2/3
If, as suggested in article, this is motivated by Matt avoiding himself being blamed for problems of NHS not coping, at expense of what& #39;s in public& #39;s broader, democratic interest, v worrying. Worth mulling over & debating exactly what& #39;s driving policy: https://www.cityam.com/matt-hancock-rubbishes-claims-of-rishi-sunak-feud/amp/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&__twitter_impression=true">https://www.cityam.com/matt-hanc... 3/3
