But he was doing his best...

A few weeks ago there were suggestions that he kept Hancock on so they could throw him under the £350 mill a week bus during the official enquiry. That would make sense to the fuckers who rule us, never mind the tens of thousands of lives that may have been saved if the Health Secretary was someone with a scintilla of competence.

but the government's past reluctance to regulate entry from world COVID hotspots, especially India, has left us wide open to another wave which is less responsive to current vaccinations and countermeasures and will no doubt mutate into other homegrown variants.

Quite ironic for a government and Home Secretary that have been rabidly intent on taking back control of our borders and immigration.
