Coronavirus: Jeremy Corbyn slams 'ludicrous' lack of testing for NHS staff

Earlier, Downing Street said it had finally reached its target of 10,000 dailyPM admits more coronavirus tests needed

The Labour leader also said the huge economic stimulus and investment package put together by the Conservative government in recent days proved"the free market can't fight coronavirus". "I don't think you can say we lost the argument," he said, reflecting on losing two general elections as Labour leader.

"I think we've put forward the arguments and in many ways what is happening now over coronavirus proves the validity of the arguments we put forward."

Outgoing being the word

Somehow I feel even though the current leader is about as good as a chocolate fire guard, JC would be like no fire guard at all. He’s demonstrates absolutely zero skills in.....well anything at all.

'TAXI FOR MR CORBYN............TAXI FOR MR CORBYN'

isnt this pointless irritant gone yet ,he is irrelevant and why anyone wants to hear what he says at present is beyond me

You can’t get on top of your party Brexit ! Sod’it can’t change’it like’it f’it will’it sneak out of the BACK DOOR don’t lock’it!!!!! ☠️☠️☠️☠️have you not gone YET ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

Corbyn is always 'present but not participating' . Thank goodness this man is not at the helm.

He not left yet? The longest goodbye ever!

Carrying him out kicking and screaming

Testing... for racism, sexism... ummm a good idea for the cloned labour leadership!

Is he still around?

When will he fuck off. Easy to criticise when looking in from the outside.

Is he still here?

Bye bye

Yes , EVERYONE was aware what was going to happen 3 months ago expectedly when China was lying, & then the “WHO” kissing China’s rear ends & spreading their propaganda. So shut up jeremycorbyn

You could test negative one day 2 days later test positive so how many times do you need to test ? Because it’s only valid on the day and time it’s done after that point it’s irrelevant

He looks terrible. He needs to go in and stay in and shut up

Swob testing will only tell you if you have contracted Covid-19...it will not tell you if you have had it weeks ago...no markers show up on swob test....after 28 days min, a blood test is needed,unless they have newer technology to detect, haven't heard of one.

Is this idiot still around I thought he got smashed at the election along with all the remoaners lmao

Coming from the man who refuses to follow gvnment guidance and stay Indoors, massive ego small brain

Bye bye terrorist supporting magic grandad.

OK. So lets accept- for a moment - that he’s right. Where are the tests to be sourced and how do we get them out sooner. Never a solution- always a moan

Who!?

Why does what this has been say even make the news?

Thanks for the advice.

Get out farty pants.... the absolute crisp packet is no more 🙋🏻‍♂️

What the hell is this irrelevant person still doing on our screens

All you wanted to do was give free internet away , you should have step down months ago

Always easy in opposition to say what you would have done isn’t it! Public know what he is and the election result showed that

Coming from a failure that's the only contribution he can make

He still here

...may i suggest he write a strongly worded letter.

Bugger off mate !!!

More back seat drivers

Bye bye. No great loss

Someone’s scared they fall in the vulnerable category.

Cheerio cheerio cheerio

🤷‍♂️

All tories & Tory voters are paedophiles, or pedophile sympathisers. Prove me wrong.

God, is he still here, thought he'd left the building!!

Attention seeker.

Imagine if he was running the country right now. OMG scary

Sitting there in hindsight,attacking the governments every move, political score pointing on the back of people’s suffering and a deadly virus......the man is deranged!!

People having a go at Corbyn, while Johnson told us all to go and take it on the chin and hope you don't die! Wow, some people are truly messed up if you think that's normal and ok? Boris was told Testing, Testing and Testing, he came back with herd immunity. 🙄

Just go away you insignificant little man you will go down in history as the worst labour leader ever well done sir

If he had been in charge it would have been even worse!! He needs to belt up the little weezle!!

He takes this crisis so seriously he keeps deliberately ignoring the guidance and leaving his fucking house. 👍

Instead of shouting from the side lines offer to help

Now he’s not Labour leader he’ll be speaking out against the Labour Party and defying the whip, just like he has done all his political career. I hope he’s defying the lockdown. 🤔🤣

Has-been

Constantly moans but never offers any constructive solutions. Maybe would be better off working with the government rather than trying to score political points 🤷🏼‍♂️

And under Labour in Wales 😱😱😱😱

Brexit will make it harder to fight future pandemics, Jeremy Hunt warnsHead of Commons health committee also raises alarm over UK missing out on benefits of new clinical trials That's total & utter scare mongering BS!!! It's the UK's GOVERNMENT who are responsible for making sure that we don't lag behind in all these this! Not to mention that this farce of a 'pandemic' will be the killer blow/death of the EU anyway! Being in the EU doesn't seem to have helped Italy or Spain. They have been squabbling in the EU Parliament for a fortnight unable to agree on any course of action or on a financial package to support the fight against coronavirus . Brexiters don't care. They are fanatics who want Brexit at any price.

Hospitals urged to use lab space to test NHS staffThe advice comes as the government faces growing criticism over a lack of testing for frontline staff. In all fairness the NHS only had three months to prepare for this. Seriously, are any NHS staff at home self diagnosed and self isolating going to go there with the prospect of being tested negative and then being immediately sent to the front line. Instead of being home with a 'cold' and watching Netflix? So there know going to blame the hospitals for not doing the tests on staff.
