Hi Joanna, thanks for this piece. It has been really interesting how the Guardian in particular is approaching this. Under the headline “What have we really learned...?” Top of their list is how bad Boris was and how Sunak’s eat out policy was more self promotion. Virtually nothing about the unnecessary and avoidable school closure catastrophe; only that Gavin Williams was rude about unions.
Great to see your on top of the reaction and I look forward to reading more.
Seems people can read into the messages exactly what they want to see - there is a lot of confirmation bias right now. It seems this might be an increasingly big problem as society - and media outlets - become more polarised. A real problem we need to take seriously, I think.
