The responsibility lies with Boris Johnson and his cabinet. Utter incompetence.

The one thing the useless incompetent Boris Johnson clung on to for his failed premiership was the UK’s Covid response. Turns out he killed 20,000 people.

From the CWS Archives. 19th December 2021.

BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

Inquiry also finds that Johnson was incredibly indecisive and chaotic. Hard to believe I know.

Not sure how am going to teach on rights and citizenship and immigration and refugee policies tomorrow. UK government just dropped policy that is way outside the parameters of the global surveys we read. What has happened here? I literally do not know.

When Summer ebbs and Autumn tide rolls 'round, leaves in gold soon fade to brown and cover trails through silent woods that reflect a solemn mood. We wait on Winter cold to come, and bide our time 'til Spring arrives, when we'll start the season's dance again ✍️ @mdanielsmith.bsky.social #Photography

A national campaign calling for higher taxes on Britain’s wealthiest individuals arrived in Newcastle this week, with the Patriotic Millionaires UK bus pulling up on Market Street in steady rain emblazoned with the message: “Tax us, the super-rich.” 👏👏👏

Anyone who ever sent an email to Epstein.

Got it.

"Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine...." #PattiSmith may have inevitably grown up from that young innocent Chicago girl but her debut album has remained timeless and incomparable. Original, inspiring and symbolic, few albums have or will have such importance as Horses.

What’s wrong with this picture? A BBC Culture Editor interviewing a BBC Chair and not insisting he answers the question what specifically was done to ‘address the issues’ over the last 6 months.

So it’s Monday. Pull up a chair.
