The government’s hurried and cobbled Plan B has spooked huge volumes of consumers away from Christmas parties, workers from their workplace, and given hospitality yet another kick in the teeth.
The PM is currently not dealing with the Omicron pandemic but focusing all efforts on deflecting attention away from his personal breaches of pandemic laws last Christmas. And unfortunately there is not one member of the cabinet ready, willing, or able enough to challenge the PM.
Doors still wide open
As the country faces what could be the worst phase of the Covid pandemic to date, through the emergence and spread of the Omicron variant, it is doing so with flights from South Africa today into Heathrow continuing uninterrupted.
Incoherent messaging
While the PM’s deflection of attention campaign moves into overdrive, people cannot trust a word he says. Plan B is already underway, although not being voted on and approved in Parliament until tomorrow, and Plans C & D already being widely speculated upon.
The PM’s efforts to rush Plan B through without due diligence has already created unnecessary widespread cancellations of bookings for hospitality, once again expected to meekly suffer the consequences.
Zero recognition of responsibility to support businesses and jobs
The hospitality industry across the UK has been on the economic front line of government’s Covid policies for almost two years. Now, with the busiest season of the year upon us, where many make the ability to trade throughout the year, government policy is once again stifling trade.
As the PM last night single-handedly announced the Omicron Emergency, he did so without any emergency support for businesses and workers. This can only have one outcome, more businesses and jobs lost.
For all in hospitality, the actions of this man only lead to one outcome, more losses in every way imaginable. He needs to be stopped, and he needs to be stopped now. Please write to your MP, especially if they are Conservative, and implore them to get rid of the PM before he condemns even more lives and livelihoods to memories.
