The inconvenient truth for Boris’s critics is that he did follow the science – and it’s working

Mail on Sunday
Over the past week the Government's Covid-19 response has come under sustained assault.  
The Cabinet was too slow to appreciate the enormity of the looming pandemic. When they did finally react, they moved with all the assurance of the Keystone Cops. And at every stage, narrow political ideology – a desire to protect the markets and unleash 'herd immunity' on an unsuspecting public – drove their strategy. It's a lie. Not a false narrative or partial perspective, but a destructive fiction. Because the truth is this: When the Chinese wall of silence finally collapsed, Boris and his Ministers had no choice but to follow the science. They did follow the science. And the science worked. "
