    EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Thousands of people with COVID-19 are taking tests that will never be analysed, warn government docs marked "official sensitive" Our "world beating" testing programme has a 185,000 swab backlog and is so stretched it's sending tests to labs in Italy and Germany 1/5pic.twitter.com/xh1NFOPycz

        Most UK laboratories are clearing fewer tests than their capacity, as they are hit by “chaos” in supply chains, per the leak The govt claims it has capacity for 375,000 tests a day But the actual number of people being tested for coronavirus is closer to 62,000 a day (2/5)

        Randox, a Northern Ireland firm, pays Tory MP Owen Paterson as a consultant. It won a £133m testing contract unopposed at the start of lockdown It disposed of 12,401 used swabs in a single day on 2nd Sept The firm has voided more than 35,000 used test kits since August (3/5)

        Officials and labs are blaming each other for the chaos. Tests are mostly voided because of “swab leaks” or damage during transit It was claimed last night that thousands of kits have had to be voided in a lab in Germany because they were transported at the wrong temperature 4/5

        Compare what the government says about its testing programme with the apparent reality based on these leaked files here. Scoop with the brilliant @TomCalver2 5/5https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/leaked-figures-reveal-scale-of-coronavirus-test-shortage-xjxprnm0v …

        So, let me get this straight, we’re asking out EU partners to help us cope with the backlogs from our “world beating” testing system? Couldn’t make it up! Completely incompetent and angry as this is letting us all down.

        ‘Asking EU partners for help’ is somehow equivalent to ‘paying labs located in the EU to analyse swabs’? That’s not help, it’s business.

        What does it say as reasons for voided results? the bit I circled. We got negative test back, I wonder if it was actually positive.pic.twitter.com/7X43cCH1eU

        If it was voided I think they would tell you. Do you think it was positive because you have symptoms?
