Perhaps the EU " Qualified Majority" principle should be applied?

The first condition would also need to be met, not just the second one.

Interesting article here analysing Boris Johnson's policy reactions to Covid and how they seem close to Jeremy Corbyn's manifesto. Below is an extract.

SOMETIMES you have to wonder who won the last General Election.
Of course we all have memories of Jeremy Corbyn losing the December ballot. And the Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran still isn’t our Foreign Secretary. So Corbyn must have lost. But to look at some doings of Boris Johnson’s Tory Government there is reason to doubt it.
Consider one of the stories that warned people off Labour at the last election. It was said that Jeremy Corbyn was planning an £83billion tax robbery on the public. Based on spending plans that would have taken this country back to the 1970s.
But look at the cash the current Government has been splashing around.
Borrowing in the first quarter of this year was £128billion — more than £100billion above the same period last year.
Indeed, Government spending since April has been the highest on record. No government has been on such a spending spree since World War Two.
