So this is how it goes.

Queens speech announced the intention of the government repealing the fixed term, thereby allowing Johnson to decide on the next election.

I have read more than once that he is looking at 2023.

Today he announced a covid enquiry to begin in spring 2022, which will not be reporting until after the next pencilled election of 2023.

No daft is he?

It seems to me the government are still making mistakes despite hindsight. Listening to the multidisciplinary experts on Independent Sage today (YouTube) there are still ongoing concerns. One of them is the “world beating” track and trace system. Surge testing is of no use if those who test positive are not given necessary funds and suitable facilities in which to isolate, and despite it being a WHO recommendation, close contacts are not required to get a test.

Are they still only forward tracing as well as back tracing which is just, if not more important.
