I found an original copy of the 1642 will of Thomas Nash (Shakespeare's grandson-in-law) at The National Archives yesterday.* Yes, I'm biased, but archives are incredibly cool.
*Actually found, the item has no description on the catalogue, which is why I was looking through the box.

Really, don't want to be annoying, but the reason people are surprised is that no-one was asking historians. Stop thinking in terms of democracy politics, this is a palace intrigue.

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.
