No it wasn't one of those strange northern accents, it was clearly done by someone educated to a professional standard suitable for broadcasting.

I deem them a waste of time because all those questions were based on the nonsense being spouted by Dominic Cummings, a man you derided not that long ago for his capacity to lie.
Now, it seems, he’s totally believable.
Starmer would have been right to demand an investigation, but having had that reassurance, he should have shut up until he had the facts.

inconceivable!
Ignore those who remind you of his words after the North Shropshire by-election last year

The bit in bold. Again, a judgement you are making before the facts are known.
As for being responsible for those for whom you are responsible is concerned, as you say, he has already agreed that, and he has made changes to prevent a repeat of it.

The PM said that he was told that no laws had been broken. To his knowledge at that point, they had not.
He will not resign for the actions of his staff. He has already removed the culprits.
If the PM is found to be personally culpable, that is a different matter.

Most people in England won't get free PCR or lateral flow tests (LFTs) after 1 April.
A few groups will still be entitled to free tests, including frontline NHS staff.
Some free testing for the public will continue in Scotland until the end of April, and in Wales until the end of June.

Quote:
Free LFTs won't be available to most members of the public from 1 April, except for the over-75s and over-12s with weakened immune systems.
|
From the same article it would appear that the tests will cost about £2 each for everyone else.

Re: Coronavirus
Seems to me that Covid is now BAU - to be treated as a cold/flu with the normal channels to be used if you run into difficulty.
The “normal channels” is now, of course, an area of concern; the barriers to getting a doctor’s appointment are formidable. Doctors are sufficiently paid that can be part-time, reducing available slots. The Guvmin have stupidly under-invested in doctors’ training so we are short anyway.
And Labour woildn’t do any better either!

Accessibility of NHS GP services seem to be very much dependant on where you live. SE London seems dire, Tonbridge in Kent seems to be operating without problems. Postcode lottery...

Re: Coronavirus
I've heard decent things about those apps that let you do it online with a referral to a local GP often on the same day if required in London.
