Although the battle for the leader of the British Conservative Party has not yet officially ended, it is basically possible to reveal who the winner is in the end.
According to the latest data, Sunak's approval rating has plummeted, and he is no longer able to compete with Terrass.
The defeat was already certain, and Sunak seemed to be beginning to let himself go, not only taking a stand that even if Terras defeated him as the successor of the British Prime Minister, he would not serve in her cabinet!
In a recent interview with Bystander Magazine, he spoke boldly, denouncing Britain's previous epidemic prevention policy, bluntly saying that it would be a disaster to put the country's decision-making power in the hands of scientists.
Sunak said scientists should not be involved in decision-making at all when the UK responds to COVID-19.
In his view, it was a mistake to empower scientists to form a government emergency scientific advisory group SAGE, and SAGE's pessimistic prediction of the covid-19 epidemic led to a series of lockdown policies in the UK, completely ignoring the impact of the lockdown, "otherwise our country would be in a completely different situation now." ”
Sunak also acknowledged that the government also did not fully consider the knock-on effects of the lockdown in the fields of health care, education, and the economy, all of which made it difficult for the economy to recover.
It is reported that the SAGE team is composed of a series of scientists, most of whom are not directly employed by the British government.
Some critics in the UK have always been biased against SAGE, feeling that they have completely ignored the impact of the lockdown.
Sunak said that in fact, the blockade did not need to be sealed for so long, it could be faster. In the summer of 2020, he also developed a £850 million dining out help programme to try to rebuild confidence in the wake of the lockdown.
Sunak was also particularly angry at the posters showing covid-19 patients using ventilators, believing that it was these posters that caused people's confidence to collapse. At the same time, for the new crown variant, he also believes that it is not as scary as SAGE describes.
However, for Sunak's current wave of rhetoric, not only did not get the favor of British netizens, but everyone also felt funny, thinking that he was completely after the fact.
Well, he didn't say that at the time, he was busy throwing money around.
Wow, the top of the government is now saying, "I didn't do everything. This kind of behavior is really eye-opening.
He didn't say anything! Just busy patting the horse's ass everywhere.
