Shameless Matt Hancock today blamed the British public for getting too many coronavirus tests after the testing system descended into chaos.
The Health Secretary attempted to shift the blame after people with coughs and fevers were told to travel more than 300 miles to get tested for Covid-19.
Yesterday an NHS testing director apologised and admitted that while test sites had capacity, there was a "pinch point" in labs processing the results.
Yet Mr Hancock - who has admitted it will take "weeks" to solve the problem - chose to point the finger at rising demand from asymptomatic people who, according to current rules, shouldn't be tested at all.
