I have seen accusations not evidence. The only evidence we know about so far is stuff such as number of deaths / hospitalisations / lack of PPE I think most of us will agree on those facts.

Cummings evidence was his interpretation of how we got into that mess e.g. Boris lied, Hancock lied, civil servants were useless. That evidence has yet to be confirmed so I await for that to be corroborated by others.

That’s a given. One thing that’s come out of this is it sounds like Lib left dreamers including DanH are waking up to this via their new pin up Dom Cum.

That's my opinion of Civil Servants however it is an opinion not a fact, I could be wrong.

As I see it - politics aside - the PM and his Ministers are not responsible for 30 odd years of cut backs by successive Governments.
They have done a bit of course but from Blair through Cameron beds have been slashed as much as investment in infrastructure.
They all think short term to get re-elected and it is not in the best interests of the country.
The constant of course is the generally useless - but not always - Civil Service who are meant to run everything behind the scenes but regularly fail to do so.
PPE was hardly Hancock's fault.
The fact it wasn't there is the prick who didn't order its fault.
Whoever was in charge would have been hamstrung by previous mistakes and some very poor employees in my opinion.
Did Boris get stuff wrong - bloody right he did - but I defy anyone without the benefit of hindsight to have got it right.
It is really easy to throw brickbats after the event and DC looks a complete arse in my eyes.
Bile and vitriol being the order of the day.

Absolutely this.
This main thing Boris should be held accountable for is having this odious character as an advisor

Are you badgers brothers? (Maybe brothers/sisters/non binary)

Is the crazy one younger or older and how is he/she crazy?

This is not sufficient information

For the facts, look at The Kings Fund.

Bed utilisation has risen recently and therefore more recent Governments should by now have taken action. Especially in provision for the elderly.

If you have ever tried taking an elderly person with dementia to hospital with e.g. a broken hip you will have first hand experience of how policy and investment did not adjust post implementation of 'care in the community'. Hospitals simply have no way to cope.

Cummings somehow seems to forget that when all of this bad planning and decision making was going on he was in fact the Senior advisor to the Government so this hardly reflects well on him.

As with all things the truth is somewhere in the middle. Cummings has made a career out of being deceitful and dishonest so why now all these lefties are hanging on his every word is just ridiculous.

Maybe so, he has been pretty apologetic

But he also said that on multiple occasions he (amongst many others) wasn't listened to, until it came to the point where he had to resign. And he wished he had resigned earlier.

I see nobody hanging on his every word, most of what he said was already well known. If he has lied I have no doubt someone in Government will take him to task on that.

Unless, of course, they are all too busy giving vaccinations as seems to be the endless claim.

Which is what I said isn't it?
I didn't know about the utilisation to be fair but given I have a Parent with Dementia and a relative with mental health issues my opinion of the healthcare system is in the gutter!
Blair & Co cut more beds than anyone but they have all done it year after year wherever possible and it is a disgrace.
They all shout NHS from the rooftops whilst they slowly destroy it.
Top heavy admin doesn't help matters either.
Bloody shame!
