Sunak’s revelations on what we weren’t told about lockdown decisions – what information was kept from us and deleted from SAGE minutes.
It has spilled across headlines in the last couple days — finally coming from a government minister.
From the Spectator interview:
When he [Sunak] did try to raise concerns, he met a brick wall. ‘Those meetings were literally me around that table, just fighting. It was incredibly uncomfortable every single time.’ He recalls one meeting where he raised education. ‘I was very emotional about it. I was like: “Forget about the economy. Surely we can all agree that kids not being in school is a major nightmare” or something like that. There was a big silence afterwards.

As it is part of the election campaign, other media have also reported on this. See for example, from the Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/rishi-sunak-sage-scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies-liz-truss-government-b2152237.html

Further from the Spectator:
One of Sunak’s big concerns was about the fear messaging, which his Treasury team worried could have long-lasting effects. ‘In every brief, we tried to say: let’s stop the “fear” narrative. It was always wrong from the beginning. I constantly said it was wrong.’ The posters showing Covid patients on ventilators, he said, were the worst. ‘It was wrong to scare people like that.’ The closest he came to defying this was in a September 2020 speech saying that it was time to learn to ‘live without fear’ – a direct response to the Cabinet Office’s messaging. ‘They were very upset about that.’

The false narratives are unravelling, as national media, released from their reporting restrictions when under government Emergency Powers, are beginning to tell a different story — one that’s, admittedly, already been told by those who dared to speak up earlier, risking livelihood and defamation in public. Here are a couple clips from recent Telegraph headlines:
