Boris Johnson's Cabinet heeded his own advice today as ministers 'dialled in' to the top level discussion because of the coronavirus threat. The Prime Minister and the Health Secretary Matt Hancock were the only two politicians in the room in No 10 this morning, Downing Street confirmed. The only other people in the room were Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Witty and Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill. Chancellor Rishi Sunak told the virtually assembled Cabinet that the Comprehensive Spending Review that was planned for July had been postponed.
