The Labour leader, Keir Starmer, has told Boris Johnson to get a grip on the coronavirus crisis or face a long and bleak winter".

Writing in the Guardian, Starmer says Labour has been a constructive opposition to government and accepted that no one could have handled the pandemic perfectly. However, he says the government has been repeatedly too slow to act" - too slow into lockdown, too slow on testing and too slow getting PPE to frontline workers."

Despite the potential for additional local lockdowns and a winter second wave, there is precious little evidence that ministers are preparing for what is coming. Enough. Now is the time to fix problems and drive down cases.

The priority must be reopening schools for the new term. Young people cannot afford another damaging U-turn like the one made by the education secretary in June. The government must set out a clear plan this time, not just hope for the best. If that means making hard decisions elsewhere, so be it: to govern is to choose.
