“The UK’s very own dictator might not have much of a reputation left to protect, but Chris Whitty & Patrick Vallance most certainly did.

“Just as unbelievably, a plainly terrified Whitty and Vallance just stood there and took it. If either had a smidgeon of self worth, both would have walked out once the questions began.”... 
...”Boris is actually quite dim. Worse still he is totally amoral. So the idea of him doing the right things is a complete non starter.”
And so he set about gaslighting the nation.

If Whitty and Vallance only agreed to come on the proviso they were allowed to say nothing...then it was a huge mistake on their part, because reputations that had taken decades to build were shredded in a matter of minutes....
