To end Matt Hancock's position as health secretary if he does not achieve 100,000 Covid tests per day by the end April 2020 as he led the UK public to understand he would on the 2nd April after several days of intense press scrutiny over his failures in testing.

More details

The government's health secretary Matt Hancock has consistently missed targets which were in any case low targets whilst presiding over the Covid 19 Pandemic. He has failed to reach targets on ventilators, testing and PPE. Matt Hancock did not know how many thousands of people are dying from coronavirus in an unknown number of care homes. He has failed to provide sufficient protective equipment and protection to front line NHS staff. The government must end 'Carry on up the Corona'.
