Whether you like it or not, the Prime Minister has become an issue when it comes to how to deal with Covid. Why do you think he would not answer questions from the press at his address to the nation? The answer has to be that, correctly, he figured that he’d be asked about Christmas parties/gatherings more than Covid.
I get your point, but you were almost revelling in a hiccup on day one of what is a logistically extremely challenging and very important project. Sometimes someones dislike of a political party just shines through and disrupts their logic. As I said, your issue on this would be valid after a few days, not literally after a few hours.

It's incredibly rare for complex projects to go absolutely perfectly from minute one. We do already have double the percentage of the population booster-jabbed than the EU average for example, so some kind of acknowledgement of an ability to deliver and give confidence would help.

And it seems you may have been wrong too: Below from a govt spokesperson. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...latest-updates

"There is no shortage of lateral flow tests. We have more than sufficient supply. What we are seeing is, because of the heightened demand today, those available to be posted out today, those slots have been filled already.

We are working with the postal service and others to further increase slots.

But it is important for people to understand if they do encounter trouble, they can go to their local pharmacy. The slots refresh daily."
