I don't know if my comment has gone over your head or not so can i get this right. It's reasonable to have a surplus of ventilators at the conclusion of the outbreak and a shortage at the outset because to criticise would be political and that's not on.
FWIW it is not political. It is what it is. If it was political it would be about the relaxation of the rules for the construction industry - a major contributor to the Tory party - but it isn't.
