That pic was to just address Adams query about whether the tests were supposed to be based on capacity or reality.

If they've genuinely hit their target then fair play to them, and hopefully we can get our arses moving as we're way down on the list for tests as things stand.

I need to see the data though, as their previous claim turned out to be 54k. Especially as they may have changed the rules to reach the target.

There's a link in the post that shows exactly where they are from.... the government. Stop attempting to politicise the issue.

122,000 tests including 27,000 home tests, so approx 93,000 tests complete would you be congratulating the hard work if they got to 101,000, they are human beings carrying out all the work you know, it’s not carried out by magic you know fallible human beings like yourself who make mistakes ..

You should never make excuses for any governments that lie, even the ones you happen to support. Hold them accountable, don't try to sweep inconvenient truths under the carpet.

the 100k figure is dodgy and if they are lying about that, what else are they lying about?

Ok I'll rephrase for those who are having a dig. I have been critical of the current governments response... where I haven't politicised the issue is suggesting any other party could or would have done better....

Where I got my information was questioned, it was a .gov website.
I was accused of wanting the government to fail because I'm a labour supporter, I don't.
To suggest that is akin to saying I'm happy about the current level of deaths due to the poor initial response to the virus, and I am not!
