And that’s the real calculus here: how will this be perceived after the dust settles? If the population doesn’t think their leaders did enough, there’s risk of reprisals. If the government does the wrong thing but people think it was right, everything is fine. But if the govt did the right thing and people think it was wrong, correctly or incorrectly, there may be reprisals.

Voters don’t remember where they left their keys, never mind last year - and if the current U.K. gov have shown anything, it is that they can and will win every election until the end of time - they’ve presided over a decade of unmitigated disaster, and their approval just keeps growing. No, we’ll be talking about how Jeremy Corbyn singlehandedly introduced covid to the U.K. It won’t be “true”, but that is... irrelevant.
