At a time of a national emergency we do not need political ideology. We need, but don’t have, a strong Prime Minister leading us through this terrible pandemic and relying on the unfettered scientific and medical advice without a faction of his own party constantly putting him under pressure to ignore such advice. The Prime Minister has made some horrific mistakes in this pandemic but he is being manoeuvred politically and this is assisting in exposing his weaknesses in a crisis. Mr Baker constantly refers to measures brought in to counteract the spread of Covid as being a major infringement on a right to a family life.
