UK Covid death toll

[Protheroe]

Can anyone now defend this governments handling of the pandemic? Over 100,000 dead and they are still trying to argue they did everything they could to protect people. Whilst the vaccine rollout is to be commended that cannot be used to whitewash out the handling of the situation.

I agree, but for quite different reasons. The current government should (and maybe will) be hung out to dry for closing down childrens' education.

In any event, the Tories will use Boris (and lightweights like Williamson & Hancock) as lightning rods for criticism before dumping them in favour of a photogenic centrist two years before winning the next election. Darwinism in action.
