@Dominic2306 @Sime0nStylites @cjayanetti Fair enough. Look forward to reading, genuinely interested in your thinking on this. — PolitiTweet.org

@Sime0nStylites @Dominic2306 @cjayanetti Putting aside the point that your view appears to ‘all UK governments are useless, so let’s give them control’, I don’t understand your optimism that smashing the system means it’ll be replaced by something better. (We may disagree but I don’t think that’s the experience so far.) — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@Dominic2306 @Sime0nStylites @cjayanetti I appreciate that this why you favoured Brexit (not Turkey or £350m a week). It’s not clear why you thought we’d use our control in a beneficial way when you expected the post-Brexit PM to be unfit for the job (other than a belief that you’d pull the strings). — PolitiTweet.org

@Dominic2306 If you say so. I'd argue that any previous administration would've done better on handling the pandemic for the reason you've identified. As for the others, let's see where that goes but not clear that any meaningful planning reform is going to be delivered. — PolitiTweet.org

What is the result of Dominic Cummings' supposed ceaseless quest to deliver a system of government that is competent and rigorous and serves the public? Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. Me for @NewStatesman. https://t.co/UNgCVcMADE — PolitiTweet.org

"If we'd followed the advice of the Rt Hon Gentleman we would have stayed in the European Medicines Agency and we would never have had a vaccine roll out at all." Boris Johnson This may come as a surprise to the millions of vaccinated EU residents. As I say, stretching it a bit. — PolitiTweet.org

The EU got plenty wrong on vaccines. But the idea that had we stayed members of the EMA we’d have no vaccine rollout at all is stretching it a bit. For example, French vaccination levels catching up with UK. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

@Sime0nStylites @PaulMainwood @lewis_goodall There’s certainly a recklessness. An imperfect relationship with EU, so leave. Which results in an imperfect deal, so block it. Which results in a crisis, so put in Johnson & break everything. Which results in a PM unfit for office, so try to remove him (how?). — PolitiTweet.org
