Neither of us has much influence over it at the moment!

What is fanciful is the idea that the Chief Medical Officer, or Chief Scientific Adviser, could or would go public and make statements that actively contradict Government policy as agreed by Ministers.

You are greatly over-complicating the situation to allow yourself to claim that the Government have been blameless at all times. Over lockdowns, PPE, billions for Dido Harding’s non-functioning contract tracing... always someone else to blame.
Well handled
  • Press conferences with medical experts
  • Vaccination procurement
  • Vaccination pre-procurement and onshoring
  • Vaccination roll-out

Badly handled
  • Test and trace
  • Late lockdowns
  • Christmas situation
  • PPE procurement
  • Discharge of infected patients into nursing homes
  • NHS pay rise
  • Dominic Cummings fiasco
  • Not limiting inbound travel from overseas until fairly recently

I think Boris's performance is improving whilst some other leaders are worsening, eg Angela Merkel and her last-minute Easter extension which the country revolted against.
