Have written for @TheCriticMag on the failure (so far) of Dominic Cummings & Michael Gove to live up to the radical ideas they espouse in their writings & speeches: thecritic.co.uk/dont-do-as-i-d…
Cummings knows that alternative viewpoints within a team make it stronger; yet he merrily purged dissident Tories.
thecritic.co.uk/dont-do-as-i-d…
He thinks little of MPs, but this government is repeatedly forced into U-turns by backbench rebellions - even with a majority of 80.

Newly released Sage minutes reveal that on 13th March, govt scientists warned that 'seeking to completely suppress spread of Covid19' through a full lockdown would lead to a second peak in the virus, even as lockdowns were starting to be imposed across Europe.
'SAGE was unanimous that measures seeking to completely suppress spread of Covid19 will cause a second peak. SAGE advises that it is a near certainty that countries such as China, where heavy suppression is underway, will experience a second peak once measures are relaxed.'
Re decision to allow Cheltenham (10/3-13/3) and Liverpool-Atletico (12/3)

5/3: 'SAGE agreed there is no evidence to suggest that banning very large gatherings would reduce transmission'
10/3: 'SAGE noted that public gatherings pose a relatively low but not zero public risk'
