- We are not at war with the virus or with those whose job it is to bring it under control. We are in a national crisis. Journalism — fearless and probing, enquiring and curious journalism — matters more than ever. My piece for @thetimes Link Nick Robinson Fri 15 May 2020 16:15
This is not only a virus. Not only a disease. It is a war. That, at least, is how Boris Johnson chooses to describe it. The prime minister is, let’s not forget, Winston Churchill’s biographer. He knows exactly what he’s doing when he describes Covid-19 as the “deadly enemy”, calls for a “collective national effort” to defeat it, and promises to “act like any wartime national government”.

Questions about how our leaders are waging this war, whether about shortages of protective equipment, missed testing targets or the failure to

- Odd how something that’s been happening for 60 years is now used as an excuse to attack the BBC.
