Sir Keir's isolation timeline doesn't add up.

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

You'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's a massive endorsement of the testing system.

If it didn'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 'only self-isolate if someone in your household has a test' rather than 'self isolate if someone in your household has symptoms.'?

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

UPDATE: Lab now briefing that the member of Starmer'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's a swift turnaround and a false alarm.
