The testimony coming from the Covid enquiry is absolutely shocking - far, far worse than I had imagined it could be (and that after a whole load of evidence has ever-so-conveniently been lost forever).
The depth of the failure within government is shameful. The fact that so many people knew and said nothing is almost worse - what is the point of journalists like Robert Peston or Laura Kuenssberg if they could see even a fraction of this, and said nothing? It is literally their job to report on these sorts of things!
Most importantly, though, I want to know what happens next? Where's the accountability?
It is manifestly obvious that those running the country at that time were, at best, utterly unfit to do so. Many of them, far from helping, actively made the problems worse for their own benefit. And I don't think we've even heard the worst of it yet.
So charges should be brought, and swiftly. And we need a widespread reform of our systems of government to make sure this can't happen again.
Because if we don't make sure it can't happen again, we ensure that it absolutely will.
