tory cuts over the previous 7 years undermined the uk’s preparedness for a health emergency… and when the pandemic did come the uk spent the first crucial weeks pursuing a “herd immunity” strategy with the prime minister ignoring and dismissing the threat. They engaged in massive corruption over ppe contracts and testing and when owen paterson got caught with his fingers in the till they attempted to change the law to cover for him. No, they do not get to claim any credit for their covid response!!
i do not think that this country will be a utopia if labour forms the government naomi… and in fact if that happens soon then they are going to be hit by serious crises which are not of their making. But i do think it will be slightly better governed.
scottish secession seems to me a foregone conclusion too (which it was not as recently as 2014!!)… that will bring even more economic turmoil in the medium term and has largely been caused by events of the last 10 years
The Cons are a mess and maybe inept but it's wrong to blame any goverment for All the country's woe's when the rest of the world is suffering from similar or worse inflation, energy crisis, wheat crisis covid, covid effects, war uncertainty...
Maybe some balance rather than bang bang bang tactics of some on here would make people take them seriously
