What will remain galling for those still suffering the lingering effects of Covid, those who lost loved ones, and those who suffered from the isolation, is that all of those named and shamed by the report will, in all likelihood, suffer no personal material detriment as a result, and will continue to enjoy their comfortable lives. Their reputations, such as they are, will be further undermined, and they will (or more accurately should) feel some sense of shame. But that’s the most they will suffer.

What the work of the Hallett inquiry once again evinces is a great sense of injustice, of innocent people wronged by a negligent political culture. Is there any hope that Mr Johnson and others will face up to what they did wrong?
