Responding to the news that lateral flow home test kits were unavailable on the Government website, Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner tweeted: “Testing is absolutely vital in keeping us safe and allowing people to make safe choices.
“The Government’s inability to procure properly and plan for civil contingencies is reckless. Boris Johnson has his priorities in the wrong place.”
People took to social media to complain about the lack of home testing kits.
One said: “Tried to order a lateral flow test kit and the NHS site says they have no more! What’s going on!”
Another added: “So they’ve ran out of lateral flow test kits to order online and no December appointments left in my area for booster vaccinations. It’s going well Boris!”
A third wrote: “Tried to order more lateral flow test kits - they’re out of stock”.
