If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s “eat out to help out”, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ‘save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

@KimSJ @therightarticle I heard a speech recently from a science advisor who was working for the Government during the pandemic.

They were asked what they thought about Sunak’s dining out plan. They said that they were not consulted and heard about it when we all did in a Government press conference. The science team referred to it as ‘Eat out to spread out’.
