I supported the furlough scheme, so I’m happy to point out where they do well. It just happens so sporadically it might appear like never. Even backbench MPs are publishing reports about chronic incompetence and groupthink in the Covid response and it’s the same people leading (bar Hancock) and the same scientists advising (SAGE, JCVI).
On the other hand other members are happy to forgive their incompetence and personal indiscretions as irrelevant. Something I doubt they’d feel if we had a Labour Government led by Starmer, Corbyn or Milliband.
We won’t get out of this, in health or economic terms, by burying our heads in the sand. If Javid had nothing to say today it’d have been buried on BBC Parliament. He’s laying the groundwork to blame the public for not heeding the warnings and low vaccination rates for Plan B.
