Someone’s head should roll for this. I am having a hard time believing that all the most senior members of government were fully engaged - my suspicion is that due to COP26 someone junior-ish has led the process and the senior cabinet has been distracted enough to simply accept assurances that the planning has been done, the party is on board and opposition complaints can be swept aside. But whoever that is now ought to be considering their position.

Fish rot from the head down though a scape goat might be found necessary.
Johnson's government is more a populist than Conservative government and as such aims to get away with as much as it can.
You only have to look at the PPE fast lane for ministers and and the initial protection of Cummins with his rose garden speech to know the government's modus operandi.
