Well Captain Hindsight haunted the government throughout instead of taking a radical approach and challenge.. I'm guessing he loved Sage ... along Nicola of the North and Mark the Tsar of the South..

All guilty of not seeing bigger to busy scoring points ..

Drakeford was the worst, he wanted us locked down forever!

Re: Rishi Sunak on Covid lockdowns

The government's reaction to Covid is a classic case of "Damned if you do, damned if you don't", and like someone else said, it's easy to be wise after the event. They did what they thought was right at the time, and they made some mistakes, but they also got some stuff right. An awful lot of money was wasted, but what if things had got really bad? Then they'd have been heroes, ready and prepared for the worst case scenario.
One other problem with Covid is that we are going to be paying for it for years, just at a time when we can't afford to.

He did a good job on the whole . The Tories had the chance and Wales wasn't interested

I don't really criticise any of them that much, because these were very difficult decisions.

But Drakeford had numerous advantages (didnt have to worry about the wider economic impact as much or make decisions on furlough, less densely populated communities etc etc)

Yet..

What did Drakeford do that was demonstrably different?

What end result was demonstrably different?

Perhaps the so called conspiracy theorists shouldn't have been silenced so quickly.

There speaks a man who’s trying anything to become Prime Minister. I for one am pleased that there was a tendency to err on the side of caution at a time when so little was known about Covid.
