Unmet coronavirus test promises have put the health secretary in the firing line. Yet scientists may be made the real scapegoats, says the Spectator’s Katy Balls

When Boris Johnson was recovering in hospital after his admission to intensive care, he was advised not to work. There was no suggestion this time from No 10 that he would even be supplied with a red box. The prime minister’s decision to work remotely following his coronavirus diagnosis seemed misjudged given how he deteriorated, so there was an effort to get him to watch films rather than look at paperwork. However, he did manage to call a handful of ministers – one of whom was Matt Hancock.

Boris Johnson... just saying

Is it the loathsome Dominic Cummings who's been whispering poison in the ear of Katy Balls? She dutifully repeats it all. It's politicians who must take responsibility for their decisions; it is sickening if they're trying to throw scientists under the bus. Govt sinks to new low.

These disgusting people should not play and should have not played politics with people's lives.

What absolute diatribe. It really is alarming how so called journalists can invent fake news and then write their personal opinion. Their job is to question not guess.

Took a long time to start. What are the odds on nobody in the Cabinet rolling a 6 for a month?

Would you like a bigger spoon to help with the 💩 stirring?
