Maybe a world where Covid 19 gave us pause to understand that compassion, tolerance, care for our planet and each other being the only sensible and practical way forward. Or maybe we'll be back to same as before, just worse. Could go either way.

I despair for the way covid seems to have accelerated the culture way. Pandemic, plus vicious recession / depression, plus brexit, plus culture war, plus cynical and incompetent governance makes me worry about where we will be in 12-24 months time.
Still, at least it is sunny out.
We have a government that can campaign but can't govern, there was an article in Conservative Home making this very observation that I read yesterday.
I was wondering recently whether it's better that Trump, Bolsonaro and Johnson are all incompetent, when we have Putin and Orban who are competent as comparators.
Anyway, back to your main point - as long as Johnson (or Patel, or whoever is in charge next year) keep the press (including their cheerleaders in the BBC) then I suspect they genuinely don't care how bad it gets for the man in the street. The Culture War, juiced by the media, keeps people voting against their best interests for decades - look at the US for proof.
