As Covid deaths in Wales reach5,000, and the second home premium is the hot letters topic, our penitent Prime Minister claims to have done everything he could to prevent our national catastrophe, if we put aside the simple matter of herd immunity, which claimed 228,000 UK lives in the 1918/19 Spanish flu pandemic.

We are encouraged to think that Johnson has seen the light, after his brush with Covid, but Trumpism is a pervasive characteristic, it simply does not know when to stay silent.

When Sage urged social distancing in May 2020, Johnson proudly shook hands during a hospital visit; the boastful barbs of Gavin Williamson, directed at the EU because we stole a march in vaccination over ‘our friends in Europe’, causing our earlier embarrassment for the American electorate to be visited upon ourselves.
