It’ll turn out to be a huge success, where drug related deaths decrease and general drug related crimes go down, and then the UK government will shut it down.
You’re forgetting the middle step, bringing in an outside expert to give them justification to shut it down.
Then when the expert concludes the room is fantastic, and saving lives, they’ll sack them, and shut it down anyway.
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.
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 Leveson II and a regulatory body with bite. In fact the new regulatory body need to be about 90% teeth.

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