is one of the most extraordinary replies I’ve ever seen in the House of Commons. The evasiveness, the rudeness, the arrogance. On a life and death issue.
Imposition of 10pm curfew on hospitality industry was entirely avoidable, but became inevitable due to Govt’s shambolic privatised test & trace system.
Instead of fobbing me off again or giving misinformation, it’d be good if Health Secretary could actually answer my question.
