Asked PM at #LiaisonCommittee what Govt was doing to stop new South Africa variant spreading in the UK. Asked why people have been able to travel from SA to UK for last 4wks without being tested & can go on public transport.

PM didn’t know. Said he’d look at it ..1/6

But they arent in place yet (4 wks after we were warned on SA).

Other countries introduced those tests months ago. So I asked why the tests hadn’t been introduced in November as Spain, Greece & others did. No explanation ...2

Seriously. There’s something not right. He’s really struggling to answer simple questions #johnson #LiaisonCommittee
When asked (by a ‘Conservative MP) what to say to his constituents who’ll refuse to obey #corona rules given his chief advisor didn’t, @BorisJohnson answers ‘all the more reason’ for clear rules... like ‘wash your hands’.

Seriously. Is he ok?
