Agree with Cummings
I try not to get irate when reading the letters page in the Echo but here we are again, having to read Alan Wright and Russ Andrews doggedly trying to defend Johnson and his team of ministers when common sense tells us otherwise.
I voted remain and Labour, I got neither, but the minimum I expect from any government, whatever the flavour, is a degree of competency: it would appear most of the competent Tory MPs were kicked out at the start of Johnson's tenure.
I never thought I would ever agree with Dominic Cummings but here we are both agreeing on what an incompetent bunch they are.
It's funny how Alan and Russ never mention Johnson rolling out the red carpet for the Johnson variant to enter the country from India and all the chaos it has brought with it.
Neither do they mention what I consider to be the incompetence of their trade deal negotiations?
The Australian trade deal meant a great deal...for the Australians. They had Johnson's pants down and everyone knows it.
Back in October, Johnson signed a trade deal with Ukraine that Liz Truss had negotiated and now they've just found out it contains a lot of sections that tie us to EU rules and nobody noticed until trade officials, who were advising business owners how to deal with Ukraine, pointed it out to them.
It was, I believe, a rushed job, but it will not be the only one.
