The government has quietly removed 1.3m coronavirus tests from its data because of double counting, raising fresh questions about the accuracy of the testing figures.
I call for the concept of government to be disbanded.
If this is fact why
Can I just apologise to all the hard working NHS, PHE, and Civil Service workers who collate, report and count these figures, for these self important toss potts, who were 'confused' by simple guidance, but expect perfection from everyone else.
Was it left nostril = 1 test .right nostril = 2 nd test. The bastards are completely useless. Wouldn't trust a thing they say.
The water is being suitably muddied,for when the reckoning occurs,some years into the future.
Help fund the cross party independent inquiry here -
Seems to be 2 types of reaction to this... some angry that they doubled up the test results some angry that the gov fixed that.
How much more crap can they release during the interminable summer recess hoping it will all be forgotten when they limp back to work?
Remember how people said the testing was being manipulated months ago and were called ConspiracyTheorist funny how they are correct again. Like the false death rates. People really need to wake up
They've done a really good job at getting the numbers wrong.
Around the time that number of people tested mysteriously disappeared from the daily figures. Convenient.

This is what you get when you vote for populists.
Things would of been a lot worse had we not had a conservative government and Boris Johnson leading the way in defeating kung flu.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are tory data.
This government is getting away with murderous behaviour. Where is the opposition? Any opposition would be good. Seems all other parties are sat at home enjoying taxpayers money. Simultaneously being shafted by the Tories. bloodofthenationonyourhands Where are the unions?
this government no long surprises me, the biggest shambles i’ve seen from any ‘leadership’ and yet these clowns still support the tories... it’s ok to change your mind even if you voted for them :)
This government, led by a cocaine sniffing, pundit who's only good for television programmes because he is a life like version of Bungle. The Conservative government are in no doubt murderers for their cowardice in sending school children back. Is there an opposition?
On a day when A level results were botched, a quarantine imposed on France and restrictions about to be lifted, new cases data suddenly is unavailable?
The Tories are at it again! With yet another cover-up, agwdennis1 calls for a review into govt's response. With blunder after blunder by BorisJohnson, find out why he thinks these mistakes must not go unchecked below:
smoggie1 Weird the didn't lower the death toll as quietly. What could their agenda be?
They only got it wrong by 1.3 million, a simple mistake anyone could make, lying bastards
Gov are a bunch of no clue idiots
The government r just guessing at every point

Exclusive? This is pathetic. You caelainnbarr sloumarsh are obsessed with league tables of COVID. Your politicking is dismal, childish, completely fails to grasp the science and is totally reflective of the reason why a left wing govt will never again be returned.
WOOOOW it's like they lied to get us to comply by fear-mongering....(shocked)
Melindola which is about 7 days worth of testing at current levels😱😱😱😱
RussPLFC It’s still a mess!! Figures need to be adjusted again due to this....
Of course it’s wrong it’s been wrong from the start it’s all bollocks. Funny no fucker has died from anything else other than “COVID” it’s managed to stop cancer deaths, heart attacks, car crash victims and old age.
BorisHasFailedTheUK Well done Boris 👏🏼 Thankyou for all the corruption, lies, lies and more lies, delayed response, stupidity and pain and suffering you brought to the British people. I wish we had Jacinda Ardern as our PM not you
Do we really want a government that can't even count running the economy and other affairs.
If the test count was incorrect by *-1.3 million tests* & the change in figures is an *adjustment* according to Govt What would count as a massive screw up MattHancock ?
EndUKLockdown1 Ooh, what a fantastic opportunity, what is the test-retest reliability for the positives?
In that article there’s a diagram of a nose swab demonstration where the swab is wiped gently around the inside of the nose . Why have we seen footage of It being rammed up into the head 😂 what is the correct procedure ?
Cases are already down as are deaths..
And what happened to the daily reported cases? Never any recovered reported, no tests reported since May, now this ...Is this Trump theory, if you don't record/report it, it didn't happen?! Without transparency & communication, what hope for any faith or trust in govt?!
Hey.. we’ve known the numbers were bull since early April btw.
Anyone really surprised by this? They’ve lied about everything they all should be put on trial.
Is anyone really surprised by this? They’ve lied to us all since the start they have been so shit it’s unreal my left bollock could do a better job
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, no shit. Who could have guessed that the health secretary was serially lying to the nation in the middle of a pandemic? That’s a knighthood these days, isn’t it?
Yes very quietly drops ..... in a national newspaper .... ffs
Useless Civil Service and NHS employees. As usual.
Chaos, corruption and compency deficiencies. Fairly standard and not just a Tory issue. Anyone who's paid any attention to geopolitics during the past 100 years won't be surprised by this, most of the UK's reaction to the nasty flu saga has been predictable.
Tories quietly drop 1.3m coronavirusuk tests and we STILL have the highest death toll in Europe and the world apart from Trump ToryCorruption r4today This didn't age well.
'Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.'
Yeah, nobody could have predicted this. Nobody.
The figures for testing and deaths are changing daily and were never near accurate in the first place. They are not reliable at all. Just keep faith in excess deaths and previous years records and hospital admissions stating covid. R worked out on random community tests?
So the English Government has been lowering their death toll numbers to look better, and now they've reduced their overall test figures by 1.3million because of 'double testing'. Yeah, your arse it was double testing, they bumped the numbers to make themselves look better.
Total con-job. A fraud from start to finish.
lordbonkers Dear oh dear. Get rid of Serco and Co. Get local public health to do it. Focus on outbreak areas (copy Germany approach).
Scandalous
A little quieter than the overall deaths reduction that they have announced.
The west are doing a lot of conning to justify their idiot behaviour
When the BBC collapses will you actually shift any copies?
Well done
