Re: GP says Coronavirus testing system 'falling over'
Live: Boris Johnson faces questions in Parliament
13:57
Sarah Owen (Lab) asks the PM to justify why
every pupil at Eton can get a test, when children at a nursery in her constituency cannot get tested.
Johnson says every child should be able to get a test.
13:46
Zarah Sultana (Lab) says the PM calls it NHS Test and Trace, but it would be more accurate to call is
Serco Test and Trace. Contacts have gone to friends of ministers. She says it would be better for the service to be publicly run.
Johnson says it is right to reach out to the private sector for help. But the army are involved too, he says.
13:44
Ben Bradshaw (Lab) asks Johnson if he thinks Germany has a lower death rate because it has locally-run test and trace systems.
Johnson says he does not accept that. He says
it is wrong to criticise test and trace. He says the UK is a freedom-loving country, and he implies that limits the restrictions people want to accept.
BJ, as usual, refuses to answer direct questions .....

Johnson said the Labour attacks on NHS Test and Trace were “disgraceful”. He said there was “a complete hiatus in their logic”. They were “talking absolute nonsense”. Labour claim the problems with testing have led to the rise case numbers, he said, but he said this factor had “very little” to do with the transmission of the disease.
BJ can bluster all he likes - "Incompetent" Harding's T, T & T has been a shambles from start to this very day ..... and now it's going to be rationed even further .....
