LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer accused the Prime Minister today of “pretending there isn’t a problem” with the scandal-hit coronavirus testing regime.

During Prime Minister’s Questions, Sir Keir asked Boris Johnson why he had said on Tuesday that the test-and-trace scheme has “very little or nothing” to do with the spread of Covid-19, after previously hailing it as a game-changer and a “world-beating” system.

He added: “Both positions cannot be right — which one is it, Prime Minister?”
