Serious misjudgement on #R4Today to have proponent of Great Barrington Way Carl Heneghan on , unchallenged , to undermine confidence in data presented by CMO and CSA on Saturday

Heneghan is latching on to one line (not central) and the overall trend is obvious and worrying

#R4Today then compounded its calamitous misjudgement by appearing to accept Heneghan's analysis of 'pockets' of overload 'like in Liverpool ' by having Fergus Walsh report with usual insight on overload there

But no wider context to rebut Heneghan's tendentious assertion

This is rerun - promoted by the people backing the Great Barrington Way - of the pile on about projection (not prediction) presented at on 21 Sept by Chris Whitty which illustrated a scenario of 50,000 new cases a day by mid Nov

Look where we are

Variation in forecasts does not detract from clear trend they illustrate

Which is rise in spread has not been brought down at acceptable rate and further action was needed to get R below 1

That is what #R4Today should be reflecting

Not indulging Heneghan's agenda
