As one of those involved in SPI-B, the Government advisory group on behavioural science, I can say that in a few short minutes tonight, Boris Johnson has trashed all the advice we have given on how to build trust and secure adherence to the measures necessary to control COVID-19.
Be open and honest, we said. Trashed.
Respect the public, we said. Trashed
Ensure equity, so everyone is treated the same, we said. Trashed.
Be consistent we said. Trashed.
Make clear & #39;we are all in it together& #39;. Trashed.

It is very hard to provide scientific advice to a government which doesn& #39;t want to listen to science. I hope, however, that the public will read our papers (publicly available at https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies-sage-coronavirus-covid-19-response)">https://www.gov.uk/governmen... and continue to make up for this bad government with their own good sense.
