412 more people have died with coronavirus, bringing the total number of deaths in the UK to 37,460 It is the fifth day testing data has been unavailable

Earlier, Tory MP Caroline Nokes pressed her point on female representation in policy-making, saying the UK went into the pandemic with record female employment - but to come out of it, will need a"functioning childcare system with additional assistance".

Pushed on the impact of women on government decisions - and the lack of women representing the government during the crisis - Johnson says he doesn't think there have been enough appointments, but adds:"There had been a lot. He is asked by Sir Bernard if having women around the table makes a difference to the big decisions. The PM replies:"It makes a huge difference. It may be a vaguely sexist thing to say, but it is very important."

Just for the record, the uk’s testing figures, according to worldometers (the internationally recognised statistical body) is currently over 3.9 million. This is 4th highest figure in the world (USA, Russia & Germany) just 32k behind Germany, who’s figures include today.

night Clearly they won’t reach 200,000 by the end of the month. That was one of their own tests for loosening lockdown. If some tests are counted as two even if it is the same person and swab then we are not even on 100,000.

night And deaths in Scotland 13, Northern Ireland 2 and Wales 9; so 388 in England.

night Available in Scotland.

night Gutless capitulation to the government today with your apology and I’m disgusted that you’ve taken maitlis off the show. I hope she tells you to stick your job where the sun doesn’t shine and goes to a job where she is allowed to tell the truth and facts.

Its the inner working of the Ministry of Lies and Deceit headed up by Mengele Cummings and his little band of goose stepping Etonians with their pig badged helmets and shiny boots.

just 400 dead , oh well BBC keep covering it up

BBCScotlandNews Is it time to put England back in lockdown Boris.....

412 more UK Covid-19 deaths, announced on Wednesday. UK death toll rises by 412 to 37,460. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19

Rumours abound that the Conservatives are about to launch their next phase campaign entitled 'Suck it up snowflakes. Catch the virus. Some of you die.' to replace 'stay alert, control the virus, save lives'.

night Why not report and investigate the ft work showing death total is closer to mid 60k?

nickylabour4eva Temporary pause in the reporting of people tested? Isn't that convenient? Like the last time they missed the target, they're saving them up for the end of May to ensure they can hit their fake target. If they aren't being used on individuals, the of tests available is worthless

Died 'WITH' coronavirus? What about died 'FROM' coronavirus?

Again no prpeoer data

An we get a breakdown of age and locations so we can see where the areas are and age groups. Even sex of victims as please. If your going to report please give more data BBC . DO YOU JOB PLEASE WE DO PAY TOUR WAGES .

night 'Temporary pause because we were bullshitting figures and now backpedalling to catch up, we are absolutely not North Korea'

night Temporary pause? Transparent? What happened to that ... PM can’t even be bothered to read SAGE papers and evidence ... Total incompetence

To all the people Inc Dominic Cummings who have crowded the parks ,beaches ,places of interest.having days out , have a look 👆

Damned if you do damned if you don’t. If they gave figures you’d criticise anyway...

'Lies, damned lies, and Statistics' After the relaxation of lock-down... People slowly started to venture out... Let's see the next few days...

bbc5live and tomorrow 'TEST & Trace' begins.

At least we got the deaths! RIP this is still high

Shocking!

Always peaks after the weekend

Today's most ironic use of 'unavailable'. I think you meant 'too embarrassing to be made public'.

Deliberately unavailable.

Why not report the people tested as this was done from day 1. Something is afoot.

MattHancock BorisJohnson why is this data not available. Doesn't pass the smell test DeborahMeaden.

Why do the ScumMedia announce these daily death total with a tone of glee ?

The testing is a failure.

Not going well then?

“Temporary pause” - they’re afraid to admit that since the pandemic started they have not tested at least 100,000 PEOPLE a day.

Real figures!

The Office for National Statistics figures show that 42,173 died from the virus in England … That's less that piersmorgan figures. Where do you mediascum get these figures from Genuine Question but no journalist gives an answer.
