Angela Rayners magical thinking on vaccine prioritisation is a disgrace The country cannot afford to have senior politicians misleading the public over the relative risks of the virus 28 January 2021 • 7:37pm The Labour Party has a deputy leader problem – she is clearly not right for the job. I say this as someone who thinks Labour has had a good pandemic. Under Sir Keir Starmer, the party has provided solid opposition.

When compared with Sars, it does not usually require hospital treatment or result in death. About three per cent of Sars patients died, while Covid-19 is fatal in less than one per cent of cases.
