This puts the seal on Hancock’s coronavirus testing lie
Matt Hancock: doesn’t he look smug? Most liars do, when they think they’ll get away with it.
Has Matt Hancock not resigned yet? No?
Shame. He should have gone, just for wasting up to 40,000 coronavirus testing kits by posting them out – sometimes multiple kits to the same homes – with no return address.
Recipients were told to bin them.
This is at a time when people are dying of this disease.
So to the commenter on This Site who wrote: “I have heard, but cannot corroborate, that some tests have arrived with no return envelope nor address. When people have contacted the help centre they have been advised to toss them in the bin and another would be sent out. If they are counting tests sent out then that would count as two tests”…
I can respond with this:
Seen this Craig god knows how many test kits are like this.#COVID__19 testing kit arrived without a return label. When I called the helpline she said a lot had been sent out without them in and to just put it in the bin. I wonder if this will be counted as part of 122k

I hope that’s enough corroboration for everybody.
Worse still, if you wanted even more proof that the Tories rigged the system so they could parade a lie before us… it seems the number of tests carried out on May 1 – even under the new system – almost halved:
So, after claiming they‘d hit their 100k target for coronavirus tests yesterday, the number of people tested today has mysteriously dropped to just 63k.
The overall increase in testing is a good improvement, but why can’t the government just be honest about the numbers?

122,000 claimed one day; 63,000 the next.
Thousands of test kits posted out with no return address, with several sent to the same homes.
And Matt Hancock is still Health and Social Care Secretary.

Today, Johnson joked that the cabinet had a ‘Death of Stalin’ moment when they drafted an obit for him whilst he was in ICU… Well, given the amount of misinformation, lies, corruption and misplaced swaggering bravado, I’d say they were definitely taking a leaf out of Stalin’s book
Heard from a good source in Wales test swabs are being done wrongly in one test centre. These will always produce a negative result. People are being sent back to care homes after these tests.
