The Prime Minister’s talk of returning to normality by Christmas just seems phony says GMB Union
GMB, Britain’s general union, says the Prime Minister showed a failure of leadership today as he passed responsibility for keeping people safe to employers and local authorities.
John Phillips, GMB Acting General Secretary, said:
“The Prime Minister has once again shown a failure of leadership in the face of this pandemic. Passing the responsibility of keeping the people safe to employers and local authorities is confusing and dangerous.
“With fears of a second spike looming, bewildering advice, and a desperately underfunded health service – the Prime Minister’s talk of returning to normality by Christmas just seems phony.
“All support is welcome, but three billion pounds for the NHS is no where near enough - the regulator warned just last year that health providers closed the year with an underlying deficit of £5 billion."
