Yes, however at a minimum standard.

I mean we all know you were a lockdown and furlough fetishist and wanted to see that continue forever. He took us out earlier than any pretty much any other Western country. My view hasn’t changed - he shouldn’t have lockdowned in the first place - but he did get us out early.

Lockdowned isn’t a word, but that’s an aside.

Well, it’s debatable depending what report or what graph you see. As I see it, we’re in the same race as everyone else and not out of it. No one is having a good time now. No one is really “recovering” so we have to ride it.

It’s not really a debate, Pierre it’s a statement of facts. Comparisons can be made and our economic recovery is among the worst. Inflation among the highest.

“We have to ride it” as quite an obscure economic analysis even by your own limited standards. The Government aren’t a passive actor in the economy - they guide policy that should be leading it not the other way around.

yeah but he was first in. Everybody saw that and now the train into Kyiv is the biggest celeb ticket in town.
