What these threads show is just how uncertain everything was back then.  Everyone looks back now through lived experience and attacks the likes of Boris but when you consider around the time how the hot topic was, will I still be able to go to my leftie festival, goes to show just how uncertain things where.

Yeah, and if it had been Starmer in charge, then the exact same things they're criticising would be getting defended right now. Very predictable

And its just a different way of getting s Hung parliament where no one gets what they voted for.

So fixated with Boris admitting how useless he is that missed Braverman doing her thing and telling MPs that govt must block all domestic/international laws blocking flights to Rwanda otherwise they face electoral oblivion.

He didn't realise how serious it was a comment meant to cover all of the COVID crisis after seeing Italy and his own time in hospital where he admitted that he nearly died.
