I've been visiting testing centres this morning

The message is simple.

It's chaos.

And this chaos is risking a lockdown that will wipe out hundreds of thousands more jobs. #FixTheTests #ChaosCostsLives #PMQs pic.twitter.com/6ksU2QwEe0

Stunned. Just got off a conference call with Health Minister and West Mids MPs.

They didn't know there was a problem. And couldn't explain what happened. And couldn't set out the pipeline of vaccine into the city over days to come. Absolutely gobsmacked. https://t.co/vcbnyJmkgZ

Birmingham is in Tier 3 & 1400 people have died from Covid. No hospital in the City has been prioritised for the vaccine. At #PMQs, Boris Johnson had no idea and no answer.

Today @BrumLeader and I wrote to @DHSCgovuk asking for an explanation why we've been left behind. pic.twitter.com/yPCRk3hzmq
