“As I have said for weeks and weeks this is the way through.”

In this file photo taken on March 25, 2020 A video grab from footage broadcast by the UK Parliament’s Parliamentary Recording Unit shows Britain’s Health Secretary Matt Hancock listening as Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaking at the dispatch box during Prime Minister’s Question time in the House of Commons in London.

“We’re also massively increasing testing. As I have said for weeks and weeks this is the way through,” Johnson said.He was reacting to the condemnation of his government, especially in the media, after officials revealed that just 2,000 out of half-a-million staff in the state-run National Health Service had been tested.

Various normally pro-government newspapers condemned the plans as “chaotic”, a “scandal” and a “shambles” as the backlash gathered pace.
