Neither private nor public.

Just like the enquiry into the Iraq War, the enquiry into the so-called pandemic is starting to drag on and get side-tracked by frustrating delays. Political infighting and rumours of revenge amongst former colleagues who have since fallen out.

One wonders why, for instance, Boris Johnson handed his unredacted WhatsApp messages to the Cabinet Office instead of directly to the enquiry. This would, of course, include messages received and not just those sent. In doing so, he has involved the former Chancellor and now PM, Rishi Sunak.

Jacob Rees-Mogg put it in a nutshell when he said, “The enquiry is getting bogged down in gossip and trivia and simply needs to get on with the task at hand, otherwise we'll all have died of old age before it's published.”.

There is enough for this investigation to look at like Partygate rule-breaking whilst the public couldn’t go out for a meal. Generous PPE contracts for corporate chums. Care homes were left unprotected, filled with Covid-positive patients who had been discharged from hospitals and now the huge number of excess deaths from non-Covid causes such as untreated cancer.

The Covid Inquiry is vital to ensure bereaved families get justice and should have been open to public scrutiny, not this drip-feeding of rumours from an untrustworthy mainstream media who should be facing investigation themselves.

Speaking of Covid inquiries and drips, where is the one for Wales? Welsh Labour leader Mark Drakeford doesn't want one as he knows what an absolute disaster his circuit/fire break lockdown system was and led to Wales having one of the worst infection rates in the world. He says the world has “moved on”.

Yes, Mr Drakeford, we have moved on, but too many lives were adversely affected by authoritarian government rules and errors to simply forget about those who lost their lives through no fault of their own.
