THE Tory government is seeking to “blame everything and everyone apart from itself” for the worsening Covid-19 crisis, socialists warned today, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for “maximum observance” of the rules.

It came after England’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty warned during a BBC interview that we will see the “worst of the pandemic” in the coming weeks.

Prof Whitty said there were more than 30,000 people in hospital with Covid-19 on Sunday, compared with about 18,000 at the peak of the first wave in April last year.
