@MattHancock says there were 133,784 tests yesterday. The number of people actually tested for #coronavirus -according to @DHSCgovuk - was almost half that - 69,590. People are often tested twice, sometimes more, to confirm test results as they are not always reliable.
Fiona Bruce - "How many people were tested yesterday?"
Tory mp Stephen Barclay - "we are ramping up testing in this country every day. Yesterday 120,000 tests were carried out."
Fiona Bruce - "How many people were tested?"
Stephen Barclay - "120,000"
Fiona Bruce - "Actually it was 76,000"
Stephen Barclay - "Umm, err, oh!"
Lying through their teeth is second nature to these people. Anyone expecting the truth from the Tories in this crisis are likely to be frustrated at every turn.
