Maura teas In recent months, critiquing the government, Sir Keir Starmer has now issued a bold challenge.

A demand for a 2 to 3 week Corona virus circuit break If we are now, if we follow the science and break the circuit, we can get this virus under control.

If we don't, we could sleepwalk into a long on bleak winter.

That choice is now for the prime minister to make.

I urge him to do so.

Sir Keir Starmer idea is taken straight from government scientists.

It would mean working from home when you can.

No mixing between households except for people in support bubbles.

All pubs, bars and restaurants would be closed, but with compensation ons, schools would remain open.

Although the circuit breaker would take place in part over the autumn half term allies of secure Starmer say he's run out of road on coronavirus.

After months of picking apart Boris Johnson's approach, they say he has to put his own ideas on the table on DSO.

Newsnight understands that the labor leader has held lengthy discussions with the government's chief scientific advisors, and now he's adopted one of their central ideas.

What Kiss Tom is trying to do is act in the national interest.

That's what we've done all along.

We've said we'll support the government where it's appropriate to, but what the government have done in the last couple of days, if if not followed that scientific advice, that's what we're really concerned about because the scientific advisers saying, Unless we do more than what the government have suggested and announced in the last couple of days, then actually we're gonna have to take even stringent measures, which we're gonna cars excess deaths, and it's gonna cause economic damage in the long run.

So that's why care Stammers said today that Boris Johnson should listen to the scientific advice, have a national circuit break now, give the financial support package to make it happen on then.

Hopefully that means that businesses on local areas could get that our number down on that we can get on top of this virus.

A Tory commentator believes this is a significant move.

It makes it harder for Boris Johnson to do this.

Now we're he so minded, because if he does, Kistane will say, Well, I told you so.

That was our idea.

You know, I suspect that this move in such moves would be vigorously resisted by the chancellor of the Exchequer on the growing voices on the Tory benches who want, you know, a different sorts of policy, one that stresses helping livelihood s'more on boosting the economy rather than just saving lives.

After a bumpy period for Boris Johnson.

Ah, former adviser to David Cameron says the prime minister would be wise to reflect on his Number 10 operation.

My advice would be Take it slow, bring all people around you.

We had a four o'clock meeting every afternoon with the Chancellor on that business chiefs in the House of Commons and the Lords, the key people, William Hague in the government and we would sit down and work at the decisions.

And then that would be a decision off a group that was held.

And I think there is a sense of a bit of drift U turns, maybe not always the best communication and he needs to win back the trust off his party and the public to a certain extent, are we doing too little, too late?

Prime minister Setting a fast pace but Boris Johnson appears to be in no rush for now to adopt the labor blueprint.
