> You'd think they would have learned something from the current chaos, but the messaging coming out of Whitehall suggests that they're just waiting for the current storm to blow over while not looking over the horizon at how to stop the next time.

Dominic Cummings’s breakdowns of COVID behind the scenes paint the picture of chaotic dysfunction back then. Hard to believe anything will have changed since.
