This a reference to the Eat Out to Help Out scheme devised by Chancellor Sunak which resulted in 65,000 deaths. In day to day politics you forget how many died in Covid.
Perhaps he will also kill the Conservative Party off too. They make a mockery of the saying ‘success has many fathers, failure has one’. So many of them are total failures its more like sand in an hourglass, slowly passing into history like a bad dream

I’ve never understood why he didn’t get absolutely annihilated during the leadership contest for this. EOTHO was such an obviously ill-thought-out policy, gifting millions of pounds to massive fast food chains while obviously risking the health of everyone in the country.
It never made sense that I could drive to a KFC that was doing great business in spite of the pandemic, and either pay full price for a fairly safe drive-through, or go inside and get a discount while sharing the air with a bunch of people who were also more interested in a cheap meal than their own health.

Keep up the good work.
