Justice secretary Robert Buckland says ‘we did decide to focus upon the NHS’ due to limited testing capacity in March and April

Good morning. I’m Andrew Sparrow, joining the blog for the day. Priti Patel, the home secretary, is about to give an interview to LBC’s Nick Ferrari.

Care homes should be renamed homes of death thanks to this government abandoning the elderly as these old folks are obviously superfluous.

This is totally scandalous! The elderly are can be dispensed with as long as all others 'active tax payers' presumably are protected. Who makes such policies... disgraceful!

It looks like they protected neither. NHS saved itself. It didn't save many Brits.

The real irony here is that the elderly people who don’t matter were the generation who rebuilt the country after WWII+demanded universal healthcare.They weren’t a burden they were net contributors who paid-in more than they ever received+still paid their taxes in retirement.

Covid-19 Expose Climate change Propaganda. Now please tell me where is Climate change Activist. What are they doing right now. They collecting fund with name of COVID-19 victim. ABCaustralia StrikeClimate climateactiontr 7NewsSydney BBCWorld .Where are they ... Any one know

Following that statement, I wonder if or when a care home company will take the government to court for negligence or maybe not, the establishment always wins

These people are denying our children their education! Pitiful!

They/Cummings said months ago that old people were expendable.
