    'Best husband?' 🤨

    The billion pound scam of private tests and travel starts to unravel

    So, it appears that the private lab which wrongly gave out 43,000 PCR negative results was Immensa, a company with no experience of PCR tested awarded a £119 million contract after only being in existence for 4 months. Corruption costs lives.
