However I do think that a lot of countries (including the UK) could've done a lot better than we have done this year. We responded to the Covid crisis too late.

I agree.

We played reactive catch up for way too long.
On the pandemic.
On that, this government has been diabolical out of just about ALL other Nations.
The death rates a national scandal.

Now this recession.
Again, it was obvious a recession would be forthcoming from this and that it would be bad.
No matter who was in power.

So one has to hope they've planned more for this, they've had near 5 months to build and prepare for it.
It didn't just suddenly hit.

So we need to wait to see what they do now.
Do they strike the right balance, do they ensure those needing the most assistance in losing their jobs, get it.
That help is in the right place and to the right people.

The problem with this government is, they don't listen properly initially or consult properly either.

The pandemic, I'd give them at best 2 out of 10.
Most of that 2 to Rishi Sunak.

The recession, well fasten our seat belts.
This could be a ride of horror.
Unless Johnson and his group have, any surprising, valid and appropriate plan.

I sadly doubt they have but will try to optimistically hope they may have.
