Off topic here but while it’s quiet!…I agree that the govt could have done much better but that is said in hindsight…the whole world struggled with the pandemic, an event that nobody living today had experienced. The report is like the curates egg..what has crossed my mind is would a different govt have done any better?…with an election probably 18 months away, who would I think would be better than the current mob both in managing recent events and for the recovery and the future wellbeing of the country in all aspects. I have been a swing voter for decades without tradition or parental or peer influence, I wish there was a credible opposition but sadly, there isn’t. Kier Starmer seems to be a decent guy but hasn’t the personality or character and is surrounded by a shadow cabinet of hysterical, ranting, truth avoiding shouters who all seem consumed by hate for anything Tory instead of concentrating on constructive policies to move this country forward. Ashworth and Thornberry on the Andrew Marr show recently failed to give direct answers to questions. I also recollect that when the last Labour Party government left office, they had bankrupted the country!…remember the note left in the chancellors office “there’s nothing left”…There are reasons that Labour lost the last election so badly and those reasons are still there!
