Didn't know about the 100k figure, that sound serious I'll take a look at that as well. Harsh to lump Starmer in as a lockdown fetishist, he called the right times for the lockdowns IMO and the rise in numbers tied in with there not being action at the time he called for it justified the calls IIRC. I'd also have kept the final restrictions in place until easter instead of releasing them quickly, but we can't say we've had a 'lockdowns' in the truest sense for over 12 months.
As you say it's very nuanced and with correct measures put in place in schools kids could have returned a lot earlier, but that would have involved a plan at DoE level which would also have involved Gavin Williamson having a brain so never likely really.
