"I know how hard that Number 10 team were working, as the hub, the fulcrum of the crisis response. I think there's a lot of exhausted people, and they, as people do at work, were having a drink after the formal business had been done". The words of our wonderful sun worshipping Deputy Prime Minister. Nearly as deluded as br14 and by the way, if you can only see 1 bottle of wine in that photo, you should avail yourself of a free (for now) NHS eyesight test. As some of you on here may know, my wife worked as a Nurse on a covid ward for 8 months until she retired at the end of last year. I watched her return home after her 12 and a half hour shifts, utterly exhausted with just enough energy to trudge through the house to go and wash her bagged up uniforms, ask me for a cup of tea and then head off upstairs to shower and go to bed and repeat time after time. It was about the time this photograph was taken, that her Stepmam was cremated and she was in absolute bits, because as she said, "all I wanted to do was go over and give my Dad a cuddle, like my Sisters can, but I can't because of the rules". I am beyond angry at this bunch of ****., why is anybody defending them?
