‘He should have turned on the Today show!’ Presenter rages over ‘nonsense’ excuse

Jeremy Hunt said the pandemic was "incredibly challenging" and "you're going to make some mistakes".

Sky News presenter Niall Paterson wasn’t holding back when quizzing former health secretary Jeremy Hunt on yesterday’s High Court judgement.

Asked about the government’s policy of discharging people from hospital into care homes without COVID testing, Hunt said being prime minister or health secretary in the midst of a pandemic is “incredibly challenging” and “you’re going to make some mistakes”.

He confirmed that his committee looked into the issue and reached a similar conclusion to the High Court.

He told Sky News that “we should have done much more to learn from what happened in other countries” – pointing out that in Germany, people discharged from hospital into care homes had to be isolated unless there was a negative test.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
