But Ministers will worry that acknowledging that with the benefit of hindsight we would’ve reduced the number of deaths if we’d locked down earlier would result in them being judged very harshly. They’d be accused of being wicked and having deaths on their consciences. /6 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been critical of the Government’s performance but I have sympathy for them on this point. On the timing of the lockdown, the SAGE minutes show they did follow the scientific advice. But it’s a great pity that Ministers don’t believe they can acknowledge the reality. /5 — PolitiTweet.org

To put it another way, they don’t think a mature answer would get a mature response. They may well be right but at some point they’ll have to acknowledge the obvious. /END — PolitiTweet.org
