I wonder what history will make of Spring 2020?
Both opposition parties were without leaders. The Lib Dem's took about 7 months to choose one from a possible nine MPs. Labour a couple of months. Boris was in intensive care for most of April. Wasn't Raab left in charge?
I think Cummings (and Gove?) were hoping to do a hatchet job in advance of the May elections a few weeks ago. The trouble is, the average voter really doesn't care about what goes on in the Westminster bubble. They just want their lives back.
Looking across to France/Italy/Belgium/Spain the death rates seem similar with very different strategies.
