The government failed it's citizens but didn't fail it's paymasters. Covid went almost entirely to plan.

This really is absolute garbage, which unsurprisingly you've made no effort to back up.

Tories don't do effort. 

They just seem to like repeating catchphrases like "get Brexit done", "Boris got all the big calls right", and in response to austerity "Labour spent all the money" 🙄

And Labour went along with it .  

 

So Labour are responsible. The courts have just sent five environmental activists to jail for four years, so all these extra COVID deaths should be a life sentence for Starmer and a hanging for Johnson?

Labour wanted the lockdowns to be earlier , harder and longer .

Yes. They absolutely did.

Which has nothing to do with pre-pandemic planning.
Arguably earlier harder national lockdowns may have been a better option, as they might have been shorter and paved the way for less damaging local ones in hotspots.
It doesn't really have much to do with failing to work on  the findings from the failings of Operation Cygnus (well before the pandemic); a pandemic we knew was coming our way following the problems in Italy; one of the highlights from Cygnus was the need for large PPE stocks to be held nationally, with a suitable fast distribution network in place.
Those stocks should then be rotated to keep them all in date, which again failed on several counts.
The committees working on the aftermath of the Cygnus failings were then partly disbanded for no-deal Brexit planning, and some of their findings covered up.

Whatever was prepared for and whatever was done was by a Tory Government with a strong majority and no one else.

They can take whatever credits and brickbats that come their way

Labour now have that strong majority and will be held to account for their successes and failures in the same way.

One of the big problems , was the Ministers never questioned the Scientists , they just believed everything these lot said .

Perhaps use your next post to explain how the Labour party share responsibility for the UK's lack of preparedness for a pandemic, as was reported today.

Labour run Wales were not prepared for the pandemic .
