Justin Madders documents top 40 Tory failures over pandemic

Justin Madders has launched an explosive social media critique of the government as Covid-19 deaths continue to spiral out of control in England.

The Labour MP listed the Conservative’s 40 top failing from the start of the pandemic, taking aim at the Prime Minister for missing five COBRA meetings at the start of the outbreak through to them saying it was safe to return to school “only to close them the next day” most recently.

The social media thread has gained viral traction as cases of coronavirus continue to surge in the UK.

Today it was announced that there have been 54,940 new cases and 563 deaths. It comes on the back of several day’s worth of record figures.

Exposing the government’s inability to deal with the crisis Madders noted down 40 failings, although he said the list was by no means exhaustive.
