The Tories, via Steve Barclay, say they let 20,000 British people die needlessly because they were 'Following the Science'.
Here's the problem with that... #CovidReport
When the Government tell you that they will use ‘every tool at our disposal’ to address an issue be concerned. Be very concerned. These are just two of the ‘tools’ they are talking about. Two 'tools' they deployed today...
There was ample warning.
Mid-March 2020: Along with other MPs, I was calling on Boris Johnson to scale up the response to Covid. The response was too slow.
Oct 2021: Report says 'UK's early Covid response worst public health failure ever'.
Why has England decided it’s OK that hundreds and hundreds of people die of COVID-19 every week just to prevent the mild inconvenience of wearing face masks and other basic public health measures?
The history books will look back at this in horror

NEW: Report by MPs on the Health and Science committees concludes that the government’s response to Covid-19 was one of the worst ever public health failures.
Among the mistakes, the decision to discharge people from hospital to care homes likely killed thousands, it concludes.
Thousands died needlessly of Covid from one of the worst public health responses ever - discussing on @GMB the damning verdict of two Commons committees chaired by Tory former Cabinet Ministers.
The PM is still on holiday in Spain.
“20,000 lives needlessly lost because you didn’t lock down a week earlier and you don’t want to apologise” @KayBurley
This Government is utterly detestable
Covid pandemic - “one of the worst public health failures in British history”
Brexit - one of the worst political failures in British history.
Johnson and his Tory party - the worst PM and the worst government in British history.
Sometimes it is that simple.
And that devastating.
The risk of asymptomatic transmission was warned of by scientists towards the very beginning of the crisis. By 28 February an early study from China indicated that the coronavirus could be transmitted by asymptomatic carriers
We cannot allow Johnson’s Gov’t to rewrite history
What shocking #ToryHypocrisy hyping a deal they knew was rubbish to get their nasty little #Brexit over the line … these duplicitous scumbags stink 🤢😡👉
Covid response ‘one of UK’s worst ever public health failures’
Early handling and belief in ‘herd immunity’ led to more deaths, Commons inquiry finds
Only what we reported on
