Sir Keir& #39;s isolation timeline doesn& #39;t add up.

Labour says someone in his household has *had* a test.

You& #39;re supposed to self-isolate upon developing symptoms.

Did symptoms appear and a test happen all in the space of the last two hours, post-LBC interview this morning? Fishy.
If symptoms developed and a test was conducted all in the space of two hours then that& #39;s a massive endorsement of the testing system.

If it didn& #39;t all happen that quickly then it sounds like some rules have been bent.
Not trying to be all conspiracist here, am I missing something?

Have the rules changed to say & #39;only self-isolate if someone in your household has a test& #39; rather than & #39;self isolate if someone in your household has symptoms.& #39;?
So Starmer is saying someone in his household was able to get a test in the space of two hours?

Wow! What an impressive endorsement of the testing system! https://twitter.com/HarryYorke1/status/1305461097345015808">https://twitter.com/HarryYork...
UPDATE: Lab now briefing that the member of Starmer& #39;s household was able to get a test so quickly because she works at a hospital which provides staff with immediate tests.

If only they had said that to begin with!

Fingers crossed it& #39;s a swift turnaround and a false alarm.
