    Gove wasn't stupid enough to be near the new Health Secretary just before he tested positive for Covid.

    In "you couldn't make it up" style the news this morning hammered Johnson and Rishi for taking up DCT, while saying DCT will start for NHS staff today which is a lifeline for the service.

    BoJo & co must be ruing the day they ever agreed to this daft test & trace scheme. It was obvious from the outset that it would be a fiasco.

    Besides being hellishly expensive, and not working very well, they should have anticipated it would be a ball and chain round any hope of returning to normality, with huge chunks of the workforce in the same sites suddenly withdrawn at once at random times.

    Or, in this instance, the plucky UK gov't gets on with the job of violently U-turning as their dull political antennae get crushed in a vice

    A pilot scheme that is supposed to randomly select test subjects.

    Are you thick as mince?

    Rhetorical question.
