If I'm honest, the people I'm most upset with, and it's by a huge margin, are those who spent five years attacking the only possible alternative, who now seem to be noticing for the first time that the country has made a massive, massive mistake.

Surely if @AndyBurnhamGM had registered Manchester as a small limited company with no experience in making PPE, no staff and £300 in the bank he'd have had £100 million by tea time.

How is it that we have nearly a week of discussing spending £36bn on social care 24-7 and immediately we must raise taxes but when we gave £37bn to a failed businesswoman to build an app that didn't work it was signed off without a flicker by printing money?

If we are forcing people to go back to work and risk their lives to save businesses like Caffe Nero then shouldn't they have paid at least some corporation tax here since 2007? Maybe people could get their coffee from the little shop down the road while working from home?

Rishi Sunak says it's 'immoral' to borrow money to fund the welfare state. He didn't have any issue borrowing to spend £12.5bn on PPE, from the tiny limited companies of dozens of Tory donors, much of which didn't work. Politics is about choices. They choose to let people starve.
