We are being gamed
I think we are missing the point about Covid and those WhatsApp messages. Boris Johnson has made a song and dance about releasing his, but only from his new phone. The one with the relevant info on it is too top secret to open, or has been eaten by his dog or some such guff.
Also the media is concentrating on Eat out to help out, on the grounds that when chancellor this was Sunak’s idea, but it was approved by Johnson and the Cabinet.
In fact Johnson’s plan my just be to look open and helpful when No. 10 isn’t being open and helpful. This enquiry is going to stretch for years, the idea that Johnson can stitch up Sunak now right at the beginning is for the birds. The idea that Johnstone can return to No’ 10 on the back of the destruction of Sunak when his own role in the Covid disaster was far far worse, is a pipe dream.
He and the PM are playing stupid school boy blame games, muddying the water and diverting us all is just the start. The media rush in thinking that they are the new Woodward and Bernstein. when it took years to crack Watergate and in the middle of it Nixon was re-elected with a huge majority.
Our media is letting us down and those 10’s of 1000’s of unnecessary deaths caused by political incompetence, austerity and cynical stupidity get further and further away.
We are being gamed.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
