A senior Conservative MP has criticized governments worldwide for imposing unprecedented lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbench MPs, spoke out against the removal of people’s liberties and the moral implications of these policies. He believes that governments overstepped their boundaries by dictating how people should live their lives and interact with their families. Sir Graham also highlighted the significant damage caused by repeated lockdowns, including financial crises, long waiting lists in healthcare, and mental health problems, particularly among young people. He criticized the lack of parliamentary scrutiny and argued that restrictions were imposed without proper debate or votes. Additionally, he expressed concerns about the government’s reliance on scientific advice without considering alternative perspectives and evidence. Sir Graham concluded by urging the government to approach future pandemics with more humility and to learn from the mistakes made during COVID-19.
