The fIrst Is goIng to be In the commons In about half an hour, where labour have called for an urgent questIon, wantIng Imarsana.com/news/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock to Answer those claIms about hIs role In the testIng programme, about what happened wIth Imarsana.com/news/care-home'>Care Homes for example, AnswerIng those charges Imarsana.com/news/domInIc-cummIngs'>DomInIc CummIngs put to hIm yesterday, It very much seems that the Imarsana.com/news/health-secretary'>Health Secretary was In the target really of Imarsana.com/news/domInIc-cummIngs'>DomInIc CummIngs� s Imarsana.com/news/evIdence-yesterday'>EvIdence Yesterday. ThIs Is what labour� s Imarsana.com/news/deputy-leader'>Deputy Leader Imarsana.com/news/angela-rayner'>Angela Rayner had to say thIs mornIng. No mInIster who lIes to the publIc, especIally not wIth the consequences that we have, should be In theIr post. And I belIeve that there are serIous allegatIons, and that Imarsana.com/news/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock has to, you know, justIfy why weve ended up In these cIrcumstances. Im absolutely devastated because my whole Imarsana.com/news/professIon-and-vocatIon'>ProfessIon And VocatIon was care work, thats why I became an mp. Its because I wanted to see our most vulnerable, that war generatIon, looked after the way they looked after us. And to know that the government not only dIdnt do everythIng to protect them, but left them exposed to a deadly vIrus, Is unforgIvable and he has to Answer those questIons today. Labour� s posItIon clearly Is there are quIte serIous allegatIons for the Imarsana.com/news/health-secretary'>Health Secretary to Answer, but government� s posItIon has been not to get Into a lIne by Imarsana.com/news/lIne-rebuttal'>LIne Rebuttal agaInst what Imarsana.com/news/domInIc-cummIngs'>DomInIc CummIngs has saId, you have heard from the Imarsana.com/news/health-secretary'>Health Secretary sayIng they reject the claIm Is outrIght. Clearly, Imarsana.com/news/matt-hancock'>Matt Hancock wIll be asked by mps fully In the commons and we later expect hIm to delIver a Imarsana.com/news/press-conference'>Press Conference about the latest covId sItuatIon, whIch he Is very keen to stress he Is stIll tryIng to tackle.

ThIs Is what Imarsana.com/news/communItIes-secretary-robertjenrIck'>CommunItIes Secretary RobertjenrIck saId thIs mornIng. You have to remember that we dIdnt have all of the facts at the tIme that the decIsIons were beIng taken. Nobody, I thInk, could doubt for one moment that the Imarsana.com/news/prIme-mInIster'>PrIme MInIster was doIng anythIng other than actIng wIth the best of motIves, wIth the InformatIon and the advIce that was avaIlable to hIm. We learnt a lot as we went along the road. At the very begInnIng of the pandemIc, we dIdnt know much about thIs new vIrus, we dIdnt know Its true transmIssIbIlIty amongst the asymptomatIc. So, clearly, robertjenrIck poIntIng back to what the government dId know at the tIme. I thInk there wIll be contInued questIons for mInIsters about whether the decIsIon makIng Improved or they learnt lessons as they went throughout the pandemIc. But clearly, what mInIsters want to poInt to Is the Imarsana.com/news/publIc-InquIry'>PublIc InquIry to be held next sprIng, Imarsana.com/news/domInIc-cummIngs'>DomInIc CummIngs IncIdentally saId that should happen much Sooner, but that Is certaInly somethIng that government wIll have on the horIzon to say that they are doIng thIs In a proper way next year, now Is the tIme when we are stIll Involved In handlIng the day to day.

ThIs says, If cummIngs were so concerned, he should have resIgned and raIsed these Issues publIcly and by not doIng so, he contrIbuted to the thousands of deaths he blames the Imarsana.com/news/prIme-mInIster'>PrIme MInIster says. RobIn says, In theory, the government Is held to account In parlIament, but wIth an 80 seat majorIty, they know they can get away wIth anythIng.

Yesterday, we sought 3180 new cases of coronavIrus, the hIghest sInce the 12th of aprIl. But thanks to the power of vaccInatIon In whIch I have always belIeved, the lInk from pcs to hospItalIsatIons and two deaths Is beIng severed.

These allegatIons that were put yesterday and repeated by the rIght honourable gentleman are serIous allegatIons and I welcome the opportunIty to come to the house to poke formally on the record that these unsubstantIated allegatIons around honesty are not true. I have been straIght wIth people In publIc and prIvate throughout. Every day, sInce I began workIng on the response to thIs pandemIc last january, I have got up each mornIng and asked, what must I do to protect lIfe . That Is the job of a Imarsana.com/news/health-secretary'>Health Secretary and a pandemIc. We have taken an approach of openness, Imarsana.com/news/transparency-and-explanatIon'>Transparency And ExplanatIon of both what we know and of what we don� t know, I was lookIng at It thIs mornIng, sInce lastjanuary, I have attended thIs house over 60 tImes, wIth the Imarsana.com/news/prIme-mInIster'>PrIme MInIster we have hosted 84 Imarsana.com/news/press-conference'>Press Conferences, I have Answered 2667 contrIbutIons to theIr sIze, and Answered questIons from colleagues, the medIa and the publIc.

As well as comIng to the house today, I wIll be AnswerIng questIons and hostIng a Imarsana.com/news/press-conference'>Press Conference later. SometImes, what we have had to say has not been easy. We have had to level wIth people when It has been tough, when thIngs have been goIng In the wrong dIrectIon. And also, we have learned throughout, we have applIed that learnIng to tacklIng thIs pandemIc and makIng sure that we are as well prepared In future as possIble. Beyond all thIs, what matters remaIns the same. GettIng vaccInated. GettIng tested, delIverIng for our country. OvercomIng thIs dIsease and savIng lIves. That Is what matters to the brItIsh people. The lIves. That Is what matters to the brItIsh people brItIsh people. The house should know that when I brItIsh people. The house should know that when yesterdays I brItIsh people.

EstImates vary as to what proportIon of the new cases each day are the varIant fIrst IdentIfIed In IndIa whIch Is more transmIssIble. My assessment Is that It Is too early to say yet whether we can take the full step forward on the 21st Ofjune. LIke hIm, I desperately want us to, but we� ll only do that If It Is safe. We wIll make a formal assessment ahead of the 14th Ofjune as to what step we can take on the 21st, and In that, we wIll bejoe drIven by the data, guIded by the scIence and we wIll be fully transparent wIth thIs house and the publIc In those decIsIons. That Is the approach we have taken and that Is the approach he on the select commIttee wIll expect and thatIs select commIttee wIll expect and that Is what we wIll delIver.

I was told that It would typIcally take fIve years to develop a vaccIne, and I InsIsted we drove that as fast as we possIbly could. I am delIghted at the progress on that that we have been able to make. Of course It Is rIght that we learn from everythIng that we understand and see and all of the scIentIfIc advances. We should do that all the way through.

A lot of thIs Is about black trauma, black lIved experIence, and there has to be a level of empathy from those you are talkIng wIth.

As we head through the fInal few days of may, at last we have got somethIng a lIttle bIt more summery In the weather as we look towards the start of summer. Some blue sky and some sunshIne on offer. ThIs Is the pIcture In north yorkshIre. We had some mIstIness around earlIer that Is fadIng away now and for the rest of today It Is remaInIng dry for most of us, some sunshIne and warmer than It has been recently too. There Is more cloud workIng Into the far west so cloudIng over for cornwall, devon, pembrokeshIre, northern Ireland too and a few showers of drIzzly raIn later In the day. But elsewhere, It Is dry. Temperatures up to 20 degrees In the warmest parts. A lIttle Imarsana.com/news/bIt-cooler'>BIt Cooler towards the northeast of scotland, partIcularly near the coast, the sea stIll quIte chIlly at the moment.

FrIdays weather, then, domInated by hIgh pressure. But we have got a Imarsana.com/news/weather-front'>Weather Front. It Is quIte a weak affaIr. As It advances Into that hIgh pressure, It wIll tend to fIzzle out later In the day. But there wIll be patchy outbreaks of raIn for western parts of england, wales, northern Ireland Into the the south of scotland too. Further east, It Is lookIng largely dry. Perhaps one or two Isolated showers. Some sunny spells. Temperatures probably a degree down on today, 13 to 19 degrees on frIday. But then headIng through the course of the weekend, thIngs lookIng IncreasIngly sunny and those temperatures are goIng to be on the rIse as well. So, for saturday, we may well start the day wIth quIte a bIt of perhaps the odd shower lIngerIng, easIng our way through the day. More sunshIne developIng later on, so fIne and dry wIth lIght wInds around as well and temperatures between around about 15 to 20 degrees faIrly wIdely on saturday. Into the second half of the weekend, sunday, probably that lIttle bIt warmer than saturday, so, agaIn, lIght wInds, a bIt more sunshIne from the word go for many of us on sunday. Just a bIt more thIcker cloud workIng Into the far northwest. Temperatures could get up to 22, possIbly 23 degrees, notjust down towards southern england but also parts of northern and eastern scotland as well. So a warm day to come.
