Yesterday was quite the day.

Two reports by cross-party groups of MPs ravaged the Government's reaction to COVID.

The worst in history relating to public health, and its hard to argue with that.

But of course the Government denied the report and its conclusions.

That thousands of people died because of the delay in locking down in March 2020, and thousands more in care homes.

The facts on excess deaths and care home deaths are actual facts, not alternative facts, and each death is a life cut short.

The worse thing is, that 140,000 official deaths, some 200,000 unofficial deaths isn't enough for one Minister to say sorry. Sorry for being shot or the deaths and misery they caused.

Not one.

Not one word from one Minister.

Sorry.

Its not hard.

Matt Hancock, meanwhile, has a job with the UN helping Africa recover from COVID. I mean, hasn't Africa suffered enough?

I am old enough to remember a Minister resigning over the failure to forecast the invasion of the Falklands in 1982.

140,000 have died because of COVID, and hundreds of thousands more have long COVID and other effects.

And nothing.

The PM is still on holiday, photographed painting in the porch of Goldsmith's villa in Spain. At least Raab isn't in charge, despite being the Deputy PM. It seems having no PM is better than Raab. I mean, its better than Johnson too, its hard to see what Johnson actually does when he is in Number 10, other than order £400 rolls of gold wallpaper.

I never thought I would see so much death and misery become normalised to the point that it is no longer mentioned on news bulletins. 38,520 or so fresh infections yesterday, and 181 deaths.

Not over.

No appologies.

No surprises.
