Number 10 gets one back at Sturgeon
Nicola Sturgeon has been an online participant in the government’s behind the scenes health briefings since the crisis gelled. As public health is a devolved issue, it is down to the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales to make their own announcements about changes in government policy. Sturgeon however has consistently infuriated Downing Street by stealing the PM’s thunder – making her announcement in Scotland before the issue has been promulgated in London.
Yesterday, I think, Boris got his own back. The co-ordinated steering group had agreed early yesterday that BBQs were on – limited public gatherings were to be permitted. Then the details got a bit hazy. Nicola rushed onto the airwaves to announce the policy she imagined Boris would announce later in the day, as she has done consistently. As Edinburgh Today reports, she set out Scotland’s lockdown rules; “The First Minister also stressed that households must remain outside at all times and refrain from entering anyone’s house” it reports. She also insisted that BBQ guests must bring their own food, though it can be grilled on a shared barbecue.
When Boris announced the English BBQ rules they were subtly different. While Scots in need of the toilet must stay in the open and use the garden, it’s fine for the English to nip indoors for a sit-down. English guests also don’t have to bring their own food, a move that will disappoint many parsimonious English hosts.
So as we move into the weekend, spare a thought for those elderly aunts in Scots gardens squatting behind the rhododendron with their bloomers around their ankles, clutching a pair of raw lamb cutlets, a loo roll and a bottle of Heavy, whilst their English counterparts take their comfort indoors. Hey ho.
