As one journalist said it's best to treat Cummings as a defecting spy from opposition camp, but as another journalist said we're about to find out how good a job Cummings did of convincing the public Boris Johnson is a Prime Minister to be admired regardless of what the facts say.
Interesting to see plenty of articles regarding current variant (first identified in India) saying UK in much stronger position because of lower infection rates and good roll-out of the vaccine then Cummings to say this:
Two key moments in this pandemic were when people moved back into care homes and response to rising number of cases in winter. Variant first identified in Kent might have been new but something like that was to be expected and Scotland, Wales and England took a very different approach during that autumn/winter period when over half the deaths from covid occurred. Imo, Boris protected Christmas shopping instead of Christmas shoppers.“If we’d crushed it in September, by the time the variants came along we’d have been in a much better position.” Cummings says this isn’t hindsight - PM was told by Patrick Vallance and others in September.
