Under the bus

Today, the walking brain that goes by the name of Dominic Cummings appeared before a Parliamentary committee and threw the Heath Secretary under the bus for piss poor planning and causing the first wave of COVID cases and beyond.

So bad was Matt Hancock, that the Government could not trust him or his department with the vaccine roll out, which is why it has been so successful.

Just one problem with all this: DOminic Cummings.

This is a man, let us not forgot, who having helped write the COVID lockdown restrictions, drive from London to Durham, then drove to Barnard Castle to check his eyesigt to see if he was OK to drive.

This is the first step in world-leading briefing, briefing against former colleagues.

It would be good to believe Cummings, but he has form. And clearly is not half as clever as he thinks he is.

Classic Dom.

But he does want an inquiry, so he says, and soon.

The PM and Government will decide when and set the terms and scope of any inquiry, and anyone who watched Yes, Prime mInister knows that you only set up an inquiry to get the result you, as PM, wants.

Still, it has been 100 days since the first person had a COVID vaccine, and as at 16:00 today 25,273,226 people have been vaccinated. No matter what you think of the Government, that is remarkable.

Does not excuse the tens of thousands who died due to repeated failures in policy and decsion making, real consequences should be dealt out to those who dithered and delayed.

While the UK carries on vaccinating at a rate of over 400,000 a day, most of Europe has paused with the Oxfoed/AZ vaccine as worries not really backed up by science errode confidence. I don't know what is causing this, but for once glad to ;ive ehre and having had my first dose.
