Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.
Staggeringly generous summary by Chris Mason just now: "Elon Musk no doubt has transformed the volume of this conversation, ensuring that the government was confronted with a reality it couldn't sidestep".
