Although Boris cannot say it directly, I think the Government's position reflects the reality on the ground, that the public themselves were beginning to loosen the lockdown. I've noticed a definite increase in the number of people out and about and the amount of traffic on the roads in the last 7 to 14 days, which suggests that folk have reached the limit of tight social isolation they will tolerate, be that wise or unwise.
Governments can pass all the laws they wish and give police the power to enforce them, but ultimately our country is governed and policed by consensus, and the mood of the population dictates the direction of policy far more than would be the case in a country like, say, China.
