"The UK has faced several challenges since it left the European Union. Brexit itself supplied numerous challenges and continues to do so. The Coronavirus Pandemic threatened to cripple the economy, but the discovery of an effective vaccine provided the country with the means to bounce back.

If the unbelievably poor judgement of many members of the Government, including the Prime Minister, can be put aside for a moment, its performance in coping with such an unprecedented event should be considered to have been as good as could have been expected.

With the benefit of hindsight, the first lockdowns should have been enforced sooner and the first attempt at reopening was a little premature, but overall, only history will tell the story.

Now, with restrictions having been completely removed, there has not been a significant spike in new infections and the NHS is coping.

Inflation has risen significantly since first beginning to rise last summer, and it is now obvious that the Bank of England should have acted sooner to curb its advance rather than glibly labelling it transitory due mainly to the bottlenecks that developed in transport that led to shortages of finished goods, raw materials and spare parts.
