I’m not sure they can be given a pass for three years of Covid considering their behaviour during that period
IMHO it all adds up

Voting Labour will come with all sorts of baggage that we don't want.

Whataboutery ‘the practice of repeatedly blaming the other side and referring to events from the past’ so for all wants and purpose they would be historical evidence.
In its simplest form for me it boils down to this.
Do I believe that the country will improve if the tories are reelected ? No
Do I believe that electing Labour represents a risk ? Yes
Do I believe that there is a credible alternative to either the tories or Labour ? No
Do I believe that the risk of electing a Labour government is higher than the risk of reelecting a Tory government ? No
For me, Labour represent the least crap of the available viable options
A sad indictment of the political situation in the U.K.
