'It speaks volumes that even the government’s own ministers don’t know what’s going on ' - Alex Norris

Alex Norris MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Minister, responding to Gillian Keegan being unable to say whether two households can meet outdoors in the North East, said:

“It speaks volumes that even the government’s own ministers don’t know what’s going on.

“This will do little to inspire public confidence in the North East and across the country.

“The Conservatives’ incompetence is hampering our response to this pandemic.”
