How is it that politicians can be caught out making serial mis-statements and still end up in charge?

We receive no government or NHS funding. Around 80p in every pound we spend every year comes from traditional fundraising like skydives and cake sales. Lockdown stopped them almost overnight in one of the busiest fundraising periods of the year.

We are not all suffering in the same way, and we are not all united: rich and poor; able bodied and disabled; weak and strong.
