Ugh to your remark above.

Did you all notice? Starmer said that this isn't the time to play politics, cross-party cooperation must be the way forward.

He promptly plays politics by saying prominently that the government has made serious mistakes.

Whether or not he is right or wrong, this is political games being played rather than getting down to cooperation with the Guvmin. Not surprising - he's got to bite on something but it's a pity. He could have said "I'm not going to attack the government for their handling of matters to date - I simply want to put the Labour party at the disposal of efforts to get rid of this disease".
