Warning: senseless jargon ahead

Sensing a devastating crash ahead, with millions being told to self isolate over the next few weeks, the government has scrambled to avoid the disaster.

The PM, determined to stick to his ‘freedom’ target, has relied on others to change the isolation rules 

Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, announced the changes after vaguely explaining,’We will make sure the app is constantly reviewed so it’s appropriate for the period of time we are living through’.

Dr Jenny Harris, head of the new UK Health Security Agency, adds, ‘I am aware people were not choosing to use the app. Work is ongoing at the moment because it is entirely possible to ensure it is appropriate to the risk’.

Perfect ‘senseless jargon‘.

The government has history in fiddling with figures, manipulating ‘the science’.

It has even managed to get their top health and modelling advisers into line with their thinking but the latest move makes their anxiety to get over the Covid finishing line - impossible anyway - a sign more of desperation than hope.

Mr Hancock must be spluttering over his breakfast cornflakes.
