Devolution is the worse thing that happened to the UK. It's taken us backward to medieval times. Queen Nicola of Scotland. We are a small nation of four countries. Same laws and rules should apply

//...why only now, should there now be a common legal system?//
No reason at all. The progress towards a common UK legal system should have been an aspiration for successive UK governments since the nations came together. There was never such a move and that was a mistake. Unfortunately devolution slaughtered what little progress had been made.

// Government statistics show 399,820 people tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the UK between 5 and 11 March, an increase of 143,956 (56.3 per cent) on the previous seven days. Between 1 and 7 March, hospitalisations increased by 16.9 per cent from the previous week. Deaths within 28 days of a positive test are rising more slowly, with a week-on-week increase of 2.8 per cent as of 11 March. Easing restrictions, waning immunity and the more transmissible omicron sublineage BA.2 are thought to be driving the surge in cases. //

Those figures you quotes, Gromit: how much different do you think they would have been had we all continued to wear flimsy face masks? Clue: the Scots have continued to do so and their figures are worse than England's. As I said upthread, everybody will be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 sooner or later and wearing a flimsy face mask will not prevent that.
Just to add to youngmaf's remarks about the "Old King": I trust you are referring to King Cnut (aka Canute):

After he had been drenched by the incoming tide, the King said this:
"Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless, and there is no king worthy of the name save Him by whose will heaven, earth and the sea obey eternal laws."
The King knew he could not control the tide; only his courtiers believed he could. Similarly the Prime Minister knows he cannot control the spread of the virus; only people roaming around wearing flimsy face coverings believe he can.
