👉🏿 The head of the UK Statistics Authority Sir David Norgrove has accused the gov of continuing to mislead the public over the numbers of tests carried out for COVID19. “The aim seems to be to show the largest possible of tests, even at the expense of understanding,”

Does it actually matter as when I got tested there were literally thousands of unused testing slots. There weren't enough people needing/wanting to be tested. The capacity is there to test 200000 a day just that there arent that many test requests hence this story seems trite!

Who'd have thought that would happen? 🤣🤣🤣

Liars gonna lie.

Misleading not only on tests but also Track and Trace. Let’s not even mention the changes made to lockdown rules by a non existent public body. You really couldn’t make it up........unless you are MattHancock

Ministers will be misleading ,the end.

I know we can recall our MPs for breaking rules That only requires 10% of the voters in a constituency to sign for their removal Doesn't blatant lying for self profit fall in to that category And wouldn't that fit most of our cabinet and their minders

Shock, horror.

Wha?! No way! Why would they?

Not a bloody thing that they offer is true or on the level. Crooked and corrupt to the core.

That's what every country is doing

'A Tory lying, well I don't believe it', said nobody, ever.
