Sunak says it was “wrong to empower scientists” during covid. What he means is:
‘It was a bad time so let’s blame scientists for making it horrid and then you won’t blame me or your govt’
Infantile, patronising tosh undermining those we should trust to protect those we shouldn’t.— sarah murphy (@13sarahmurphy) August 25, 2022

I didn’t think Sunak would turn out to be such a desperate looser. Depressing somehow. https://t.co/QthUpL2L8o

One PM candidate telling us she doesn't need an ethics advisor after being caught organising cash for access events & the other who was instrumental in pumping up the unnecessary COVID death toll telling us scientific experts are overrated.
Fucking halcyon days to live in, lads.

Such a bizarre Sunak strategy to pointlessly shred his reputation pandering to the rabid GBNews end of Tory membership who do not care, do not like him & have already voted Truss https://t.co/pwC6ONcUKp

It was a mistake to empower a witless man as chancellor. His Eat Out To Help Out was one of the biggest blunders of the pandemic.

It’s worth remembering this.
