I assume you'll get the same stick I do for showing your political colours :-P
The term Circuit Breaker came from the scientists in late September; Starmer just adopted it.
Whether they last a fortnight or months lockdowns only do one thing - move the curve on. More crudely they kick the can down the road. It's a delaying tactic until we come up with something better whether trace/test/isolate, a vaccine, a combination of those or something that emerges from the blue.
It will be interesting to see how the mochyn cwta on the other side of Offa's Dyke get on with their 'firebreak'.
