*Come to our Immigration Conference on Sat 7 Oct in London. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/immigr… Boris Johnson’s former political secretary explains why his former boss was heroic in 2019 and a disappointment after that. In terms of the Government’s response to Covid, he feels profound regret for being complicit in supporting those policies, and that he is appalled not only by his and Parliament’s support, but also the response of so many of the public, many of whom seemed perfectly willing to allow the state to restrict their freedoms.
