PM Boris Johnson defends coronavirus testing system amid 'colossal spike' in demand
Mr Johnson said 89% of those who have in-person tests get them the next day.
He acknowledged the frustration around the demand for tests, but said capacity was being increased, with the government wanting 500,000 tests a day by the end of October. Ms Rayner also said the prime minister had"time and again" made pledges on testing, but"then breaks those promises".
