Fiona Bruce demolished this Tory MP’s inflated testing figures – the only 5 reactions you need

Question Time is back, and Thursday’s Oldham episode saw Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi try to convince people that the UK is testing 240,000 people for coronavirus every day.

Luckily, Fiona Bruce was on it.

“I’m not trying to hide away from the challenges, we’ve got to do even better.”

“If you can’t get a test, it doesn’t matter what the capacity is.”

These five reactions nailed it.

Nadhim Zahawi explaining how the testing of 81,000 people a day is best referred to as '240,000 tests a day'. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/pLIiQ4L7hQ

Ignore Fiona Bruce saying 81,000. Nadhim Zahawi is right. We *are* doing 240,000 tests a day. In the same way that the Brexit deal is “oven ready”, our track and trace system is “world-beating” and our Covid response a “massive success”. pic.twitter.com/EnVn4v4pFo

This Robert Jenrick parody had a conclusion.

God bless Nadim Zahawi! If we asked him, he'd go out there and defend Boris for barbecuing the elderly. #bbcqt
