Editorial: Hospitals were ordered to send patients to care homes without routine testing during the pandemic. Boris Johnson needs to say sorry for this deadly failure to protect the elderly.

“We need to do better. Because we are failing our parents, our grandparents, our elders – the greatest generation who built this country. We need to care for them properly.” These are welcome words from a prime minister prepared to accept responsibility for the tsunami of deaths in care homes. Unfortunately they were not issued from the mouth of Britain’s prime minister but Canada’s Justin Trudeau.

The Guardian was founded by money from cotton picking industry, they supported the confederates in the civil war...shut it down now...Black lives matter.

It will be the Dominic Cummings defence. Exceptional circumstances blah blah. Such disrespect and disdain.

It’s pointless to ask him for an apology. In my opinion for such a great misconduct he should resign. It’s like sending the army to a war zone without adequate equipments to win the war. As if sending soldiers to their own fate.

Hunt. You mean the msnwho was in charge when they had the investigation into pandemics AND HE DID NOTHING. So we can forget what he says. And don't forget it was the NHS bosses who are to blame for the care home scandal

In this case saying sorry would not be enough

Totally inaccurate journalism!!!! FAKE NEWS!!!! But what do you expect from a paper FOUNDED BY THE SLAVE TRADE

Two out of three care homes have NOT had a Covid19 outbreak.

Noticed our PM doesn’t do responsibiy or apologies. Too narcissistic?

I agree. The guardian certainly should apologise. Good of them to highlight it.

Jeremy Hunt said, 'No but, there is obviously risk if you can't test people when they leave hospital and countries like Germany insisted that care homes quarantine people arriving from the hospital and we didn't.' Even Jeremy Hunt! thinks the Tories guidance infected care homes.

Boris has a point of principle not to apologise. EVER. Why say sorry when you can simply dodge the question or pass the blame to someone else? Simples.

It's one of the most devastating outcomes of their incompetence. The least they could do is apologise.

good luck with that one ToryLiesCostLives

The Guardian view on the cabinet: a paucity of talent | EditorialEditorial: Government in Britain relies on a critical mass of serious secretaries of state. The current crop is worryingly lightweight Boris Johnson: A Government of all the Talentless. A paucity of anything I would say, humility, commonsense, caring, other suggestions welcome. Paucity of talent. That implies there is some?
