Do you want hear a rumour?
Why'd Ian Blackford drive 600 miles to Skye when he could've stayed at his home in London?
Because Ian Blackford is having an affair with a woman on Skye
He caught C-19 from that woman & began to transmit it to others
Ian Blackford is in big trouble

They won't say how many have been tested but it's remarkable they know how many have tested positive
Quite remarkable that they can do that whilst not knowing how many have
been tested.
If somebody is tested 3 times and tests positive 2 out of 3... How
many positive tests is that?
1?, 2?, or 0? And let's do 3 more tomorrow
Comedy government from a bunch of clowns

donny..they have offered no explanation why people tested figures are no longer available.
Yeah, dom Cummings is working on a story to explain it.
Should be a corker
Maybe his 4 year old is testing the family calculator so results will be incoming

Maybe Priti Patel has been recording the figures
Maybe they've simply been rumbled fiddling the figures
And need a super fiddle to reach 200k on 33rd of May.

The government has failed to disclose the number of people tested for Covid-19 for the seventh day running, prompting criticism from senior scientists who said this risked a perception that there is “something to hide”.
On Friday, figures showed that less than 131,500 daily tests were carried out the previous day. No 10 insisted that it was “on target” to hit 200,000 daily tests by 1 June, as promised by health secretary Matt Hancock.
However, no figure for the total number of people tested was provided – and hasn’t been for a week – which experts said makes it impossible to judge whether an adequate regime is in place to support the newly launched test-and-trace system.
Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, said: “Whether or not the Department of Health is trying to hide these figures ... not making them publicly available could be perceived as that.
“If the government is setting targets that it’s then going to judge itself by, the results should be publicly available so that people outside the small group of advisers to the government are able to judge them independently. It does feel that the openness is not there.”
Prof Allyson Pollock, director of the Newcastle University Centre for Excellence in Regulatory Science, said the lack of transparency was concerning at a critical time when testing was required to ensure restrictions can be eased safely without triggering a resurgence of infections.
“I have no idea whether we’ve got adequate testing [for track and trace] because we just don’t have enough information,” she said. “We should know how many people have been tested, why they’ve been tested, where they’ve been tested, who has done the test, the test results. We haven’t got those figures.”
The latest figures provide the number of people tested in Pillar 1 (people in hospital and health and care workers), but not for Pillar 2 (tests for the wider population carried out at drive-through centres or through home testing) or overall figures. These numbers were last made available on 22 May.
The Department of Health website states: “Reporting on the number of people tested has been temporarily paused to ensure consistent reporting across all pillars.”
The most recent available figures for Pillar 2 show that there had been around 1.6 million tests to date, but just 1.1 million people tested in this category. The gap of roughly 500,000 is understood to be accounted for by people who have had retests and because tests mailed out for home testing and to satellite labs are only counted as “people tested” once they return to the system.
Only a “small percentage” of people in Pillar 2 have retests, according to the Department of Health, suggesting that hundreds of thousands of tests mailed out to homes and satellite labs – potentially more than a third of those mailed out – had not returned to the system by last week.
“If this service is working properly we need to know that the tests are being done and not just disappearing into the postal service never to be seen again,” said Hunter.
The Department of Health declined to say how many tests have been mailed out, but have not returned to the system or are awaiting use in satellite laboratories.

I was mistaken..here is their reason
The Department of Health website states: “Reporting on the number of people tested has been temporarily paused to ensure consistent reporting across all pillars.”

Perhaps Cummings lost them all in the woods at Barnard Castle 
According to Labour MP Ian Murray Scotland is carrying out 4,000 tests per day.
If that's true, then even if the Tories are only managing 50,000 per day for England, they are still comfortably outperforming Sturgeon's regime.

Murray also reckons half the Scottish tests are carried out by UK Government centres !
That's OK some of UK tests have been done in usa
The point is are the SNP doing any better than the Tories ?
The claims that the The Tories have done a dreadful job seem based mostly on 3 things....
Care Home deaths
PPE provision
Testing rates
According to Murray all these things are worse in Scotland. Is Murray making this up ?
If not then I am struggling to see how someone can hold a position that the Tories have handled this disastrously but the SNP are doing just fine. Many on here seem to maintain this position.

Well tories are doing a shoite job in engerland
Scottish test and trace will prove itself one way or another.

toby..try looking at the polls....when we fail we admit it..you probably believe Cummings story.
Also it is clear who our leader is in Scotland..yours is an unelected eugenic weirdo.
And try listening to the public health messages delivered by Jason Leitch.
A true star, thorough medical professional who delivers his message in a non patronising manner.

I think Cummings should have gone for what it's worth
All that matters surely are the facts of tests, case numbers, deaths etc, not polls or how persuasive the guy doing the briefings is

Angoose, so what you are saying is....
'Boris is doing badly, but is blustering his way through, claiming doing a great job, Sturgeon is doing even more shyte but is holding her hands up and admitting it....
Until I heard what Murray had to say I was under the impression (from UK media generally and people posting here) that Scotland was performing a lot better than England in all the key indicators, and that Sturgeon was being rightly lauded...

Different pollster this time, up to date (29th May) covering folks throughout the UK. Same story as previous poll, Scottish Government miles ahead of UK Government in handling pandemic.

toby..if you think Scotland is performing worse than England then you must be on crack(or something stronger)
You like transparency the try gov.scot then compare with Engalnd...how many people tested last 7 days(that does not mean how many have been chucked in the post) in England toby?
According to that 4,325 tests were carried out in Scotland yesterday.
Seems Murray was right

So now it's forget about testing rates/care home deaths/PPE and concentrate on the polls
Polly loves polls, if they agree with him.
In fact Polly loves anyone who agrees with him.
Ditto Angus ,Donny etc,etc,etc
