Failures of State: The Inside Story of Britain’s Battle with Coronavirus recounts the extraordinary political decisions taken at the heart of Boris Johnson’s government during the global pandemic.
Meticulously researched and corroborated by hundreds of inside sources, politicians, emergency planners, scientists, doctors, paramedics and bereaved families, along with leaked data and documents, this is the insider’s account of how the government sleepwalked into disaster and tried to cover up its role in the tragedy - and it exposes one of the most scandalous failures of political leadership in British history.
In the eye of the storm was Boris Johnson, a prime minister who idolised Winston Churchill and had the chance to become a hero of his own making as the crisis engulfed the nation. Instead he was fixated on Brexit, his own political destiny and a myriad of personal issues, all while presiding over the UK government’s botched response to the global coronavirus pandemic. After missing key Cobra meetings, embracing and abandoning herd immunity and dithering over lockdown, Johnson left the NHS facing an unmanageable deluge of patients. His inaction resulted in the deaths of many thousands of British people and his own hospitalisation at the hands of the pandemic, yet further reckless decisions allowed a deadly second wave to sweep across the country in the autumn months with the economy on the brink of collapse.
With access to key figures at the top of government during the most tumultuous year of modern British history, Failures of State is an exhaustive and thrillingly told story - and one of the most essential pieces of investigative reporting for a generation.

A very well researched and written account of the disastrous actions taken by the UK government during 2020 were profits were put before lives. Many thousands of deaths needlessly lost due to a government ignoring scientific advice and being guided by dogma and politics instead. The same mistakes were repeated for both ’spikes’ causing higher deaths and greater economic damage. The old and frail were systemically allowed to die by withholding ICU treatment. A shameful episode in UK history.

Yet they are still riding high in the polls. The stupid people of the UK truly have the government they deserve.

Hard to think of another example of a democracy so definitively choosing oblivion. All subsequent repercussions of that decision can be imputed to sequela.

@Bytbiter - Those nasties never received an actual democratic majority, however. They were part of a coalition, and exploited the emergency powers provision in the Weimar Constitution, to rule by decree.
Don’t give the Brits any ideas.

I wasn’t aware a majority (or a plurality - you lot use the words wrong) of the popular vote was a necessary condition. Several US presidents fail that test, as do almost all UK prime ministers.
