Dominic Cummings says something believable: PM had no plan to protect vulnerable people from Covid

Johnson – along with ministers, government scientific advisers and civil servants – is braced for a lambasting from the man who was his most senior adviser until November, when Cummings is questioned by MPs on Wednesday.
...
On Tuesday, Cummings added to a 63-tweet thread on Twitter, saying that those in care homes and other social care, and vulnerable people asked to shield, had been failed.

“One of the worst failings in Feb/March, less discussed than lockdown, was the almost total absence of a serious plan for shielding/social care,” he claimed. “As in general, there was widespread delusion we HAD a great plan. It turned out to barely exist.”

He said a helpline number was left off letters to members of the public being asked to shield from the virus because the helpline had not yet been set up.

And, God help me, David Davis's comment seems right:

Former Brexit secretary David Davis said Cummings may have correctly identified some of the government’s failings – but there was little evidence he had tried to correct them when he was inside government. “This is a man whose primary purpose in life is to rewrite history to make him look good, but that doesn’t mean that everything he says is completely wrong,” he said.

1. That's certainly believable...

because I don't think Boris has ever had a plan for anything. Except perhaps to become PM, but I don't think he had any plans for what he'd do after that!
