IMO the only major blunder in the list you gave was the A-level fiasco. Everything else is just small stuff that it wasn’t worth fighting over. The school face mask for example - only affects secondary schools In areas where further restrictions have been implemented, and gives head teachers autonomy as required. Not really a massive u-turn to get all worked up over is it?
