GDAL import error, broken both python script and Qgis

I have both a standalone script trying to use gdal and Qgis both of which have run into an error with importing gdal:

My script errors:

line 18, in <module>
    import gdal
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gdal.py", line 2, in <module>
    from osgeo.gdal import deprecation_warn
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'osgeo.gdal'

and if I try from osgeo import gdal:

line 18, in <module>
    from osgeo import gdal
ImportError: cannot import name 'gdal' from 'osgeo' (/home/justinlarking/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/osgeo/__init__.py)

This is also affecting my Qgis as in I cant open it:

Full Qgis error:

Couldn't load plugin 'shapetools' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method

Can anyone help me understand why my GDAL has broken? I did remove it and reinstall it however it is the same version as it was previously.
