We have never needed to trust our Government more than right now.
We have never had a Government we trust less.
Today I speak to a young Woman in Iran about her experience of trying to find out the truth about Coronavirus from social media and word of mouth because even if the Government was telling the truth, they've learned not to trust them. The parallels with what I see happening here is palpable.
