Sunak is unlikely to be in power for longer than it takes for the pilot to generate ‘usable’ statistical results.
The Conservatives can then use this scheme to attack Labour while in opposition, ‘Labour is weak on drugs!’ Labour then u-turns ‘They can’t make up their mind!’ and closes the trial down, ‘Sunak let this pioneering study go on and now Labour have shut it down!’
Alternative scenario: it works and Labour don’t shut it down, The Sun running the headline ‘300% leap in crime near treatment room!’ Conservatives: ‘Labour is soft on crime, mollycoddling junkies while ordinary people struggle.’
If you always argue from a place of bad faith then life never disappoints you.

Tory media has to be a priority to be dealt with once the scum are out on their ears.

To be frank with you they need to rein in liberal media like the fucking Guardian also, those pricks are farming outrage to finance themselves. What we need is Levenson II and a regulatory body with bite. In fact the new regulatory body need to be about 90% teeth.

I totally agree. I don’t see the guardian as the worst culprit though.
