Priti Patel does not rule out wearing masks after 19th July
that ministers were mulling keeping mandatory masks in some enclosed settings like public transport.
And this morning Ms Patel was reluctant to nail her colours to the mast, telling Times Radio: "Look, I would love to, you know, take the mask off, but at the right time. I will do that when we are in the clear." Grilled if this could be after July 19, she deflected: "The point is we are living with coronavirus and, you know, many of us have been saying this across government - probably for the last 12 months actually - we are living with this virus.", insisting July 19 will be the "end of the line" for lockdown.
The ex-Chancellor - who replaced shamed Matt Hancock - told MPs: "The restrictions on our freedoms - they must come to an end. "We owe it to the British people who have sacrificed so much to restore their freedoms as quickly as we possibly can - and not to wait a moment longer than we need to."Health Secretary Sajid Javid told MPs yesterday July 19 will be the "end of the line" for lockdown
