"Independent readers have been sharing emotional reactions as former prime minister Boris Johnson faces the prospect of legal action over his government's pandemic response. Readers recalled rule-breaking in Downing Street, mixed messaging, and delays that allowed the virus to spread - and many felt those responsible should face consequences, with some calling for Johnson to be barred from future office. Several said early warnings from other countries were clear to anyone paying attention."
"Many felt the inquiry's findings simply confirmed what they already believed that chaotic decision-making in No 10, ideological austerity, and years of Tory underfunding left the UK dangerously exposed. Others argued it is too easy to judge with hindsight. They pointed to conflicting scientific advice, the pressure on ministers, and the impossible balance of competing harms. But the dominant view was that leadership was lacking when it mattered most."
