Stick to your decisions, Boris!

Oh for goodness sake, Boris, stop making u-turns. So the newish health secretary Sajid Javid gets a positive for Covid-19 even though he has had the double vaccine doses (very worrying!) and straightaway Boris Johnson and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak hear the pings on their Covid track and trace app because, hardly surprising, the three of them had been in the same room at some point. But Number 10 announces that instead of going into self-isolation for ten days, Boris and Rishi would take part in the government's pilot scheme and carry on as usual but taking tests every day to make sure they are negative. Eminently sensible. They are after all, respectively, the prime minister of the country in charge of everything and the second most important member of the government in charge of saving the country from economic ruin. So let them get on with their jobs. As pretty well everyone is now saying, it's totally crazy that every time you get pinged you have to stop work and go home and vegetate, IF you have been vaccinated twice. Even though Javid got Covid despite the two vaccines, his symptoms are supposedly very mild. He's not going to end up on a ventilator in intensive care. Well I hope not. But as soon as it came out that Boris and Rishi would not be self-isolating, the Labour Party started whingeing and moaning and shouting hypocrisy and coming up with the age-old cliche about one rule for them and another rule for everyone else. Sometimes I don't think the Labour Party and its shadow leader of the opposition and shadow ministers can think of anything apart from cliches. But as a result of the Labour onslaught, Boris and Rishi have done a u-turn and said they will after all self-isolate. It's totally pathetic! They should have stuck to their guns and been bold and brave and should have told Labour to go get a life. Surely the prime minister and chancellor can do their jobs properly by taking a test every day? And if that works well then the rest of the country can do likewise instead of having masses of people doing nothing at home for ten days just because their stupid phone pinged. The ping dictatorship, now that nearly 80 per cent of adults are doubly vaccinated, is absolute madness and should be stopped now. In the meantime, Keir Starmer and co, for God's sake, stop whingeing all the time and go read a lexicon to find something other than a CLICHE when you have to make public statements. If I hear "too little too late" or "one rule for them and another rule for everyone else" ever again I'm going to scream.
