You’re proposing a false dilemma. There are other equally plausible explanations in this case, among them the possibility that the government reacted to compelling new evidence as soon as it could reasonably do so. In favour of this possible explanation is the fact that the leaders of the Scottish and Welsh governments agreed the Christmas relaxation with the UK gov acting for England, and withdrew it at the same time. Neither Nicola Sturgeon nor Mark Drakeford owe Boris any favours and both of them would lose no time in exploiting either farce or malice for their own advantage. But they didn’t. Everyone agreed everything at the same time.
