SORRY seems to be the hardest word.
The Government handled the coronavirus at the start badly says a select committee report. Lockdown was too late and tens of thousands of lives could have been saved.
Yet There are no apologies, for getting it badly wrong.
Even Labour that were endorsing the Government actions at the time, cannot say sorry either.
What is is about politicians that they can never admit they were stupid , incompetent and indecisive. What is it that they have no honour, "my right honourable friend" is a joke. If they had any honour they would stand down, as a gesture to 30,000, 140,00, 160,000 deaths and apologise like the Japanese PM who had far less of a total.
Go on admit it MPs, you failed the nation and it's people, those that died, those that lost loved ones, and those that are still suffering.
A major report by MPs criticises the UK's early response to the Covid outbreak, saying "big mistakes" were made
The late lockdown in early 2020 "ranks as one of the most important public health failures" the UK has ever had
The report also says "many thousands" of care home deaths could have been avoided
And it criticises the test and trace programme for its "slow, uncertain and often chaotic performance"
Dominic Cummings, the prime minister's former chief adviser, has said the government's system for dealing with a crisis was a "disaster" and had been "bad for many years before Covid".
