Priti Patel says tests are available for everyone

Priti Patel has just confirmed that tests are available for everyone. Good news. Effectively people have been lying that they are unable to get tests. Is no one scrutinising the kids of this government. Nhs staff shortages already due to lack of testing. School kids and parents anxious as well.

Priti Patel is an utterly shameless liar.

I saw the interview. It made my blood boil because my 5 year old daughter had a fever on Friday and we couldn’t get a test, and she’s basically blaming me for not being able to secure one?

I’m not British (been living here for 10 years) and it is quite fascinating to me how British politicians never admits their faults. It’s always the public’s misunderstanding or someone else’s fault? Confused

I wish the interviewers had more balls and actually hold the MP's responsible for their words and actions rather then pussy footing around them. We know full well that the Government are not meeting anywhere near the targets they have already set, let alone the impossible target of 500,000 test in December.

As usual the Government did not think ahead to realise that by allowing people to travel abroad, opening pubs & restaurants and then opening school would mean a rise in cases. And prepare in advance for the extra test which will be needed. And of course they are once again playing catch up, rather then being ahead of the game.

The government have made it clear that they will not be held to account by journalists, by blacklisting the journos who try.Angry

That's why they are boycotting Piers Morgan.

That's because she got Dominic Cummings to look at the data and his eyes are still poorly.

Matt says there is a problem. Priti says not. Bloody sort it out.

Considering a FOI request for the number of unique visitors to the site and the number of completed bookings and the average number of repeat visits to the page before completion.

This whole government is made up of nasty liars with proven track records of being such. How anyone could vote for them last year is beyond me and now we are all paying the price.

They have a whopping majority and can seem to get away with just about anything.
It's so depressing , but there you go.
Let's hope people remember at the next election , but they probably won't!
Unless Brexit is completely messed up or they just lie about that too to wrangle out of all that. They are good at lying.
