Careless Tories!

The Covid Inquiry wasn't requested by HMG and there would almost certainly have been one even if HMG's actions had been more successful. HMG's only involvement is to agree to hold such an inquiry, and I can picture the massive outcry (prob from yourself!) if no such inquiry ha been agreed to. The setting up of the inquiry including its approach and team are then actioned independantly of HMG under an act of parliament I can't recall. If you aren't happy with the amount spent, lobby your local MP and good luck, but this one isn't down to HMG

Regarding Rwanda being a 'waste'. I'd describe the money as 'so far invested' until its proved to be a failure. It may well be, but you intimated the same about Paul Warne and we are now 5 wins out of 6

Bit out of order that, young Andrew, on the basis that a) you intimated exactly the same thing, and b) you invariably tell me off for confusing football and political threads.

At the moment I think Rwanda has probably had more visits from Foreign Secretaries than it has from any migrants/refugees. If you think it’s a good idea that’s your opinion. Mine is that it’s another in the long list of Government white elephants and the product of stubbornly callous minds entirely devoid of compassion and common sense.

As regards the Covid inquiry...I’ve never questioned the need for such an inquiry however all I’ve seen so far is an extraordinary amount of public money being spent on seeing apparently unaccountable politicians (many already disgraced) squirm and criticise each other. There must be a better way.

Be interesting to know what is happening in other countries as regards investigation and cost. I genuinely don’t know.
