Raab didn’t understand the importance of accurate figures.
Imagine the uproar if Diane Abbot got the numbers wrong
I can get behind finger wagging about saying 250, but going ‘HAH – FOOL, there are 9 people in hospital not 10 you fucking muppet’ is a bit too nitpicky.
Last week the daily Star (😱) had a picture of a brain in the front page with the headline “Raab’s brain still missing”…’nuff said
10 people in over 60 million and we’re all panicking, what a joke
Don’t forget the 1 Person who died whilst having Omicron…
Of course we have no idea how old the person was, if they had any other conditions, if the were vaccinated, if they were hit by a car, if they fell out of a second storey window…
All we know is when they died they also had the Omicron varient.
I always thought David davis was the thickest MP in the government, I now question that.
Maybe 10 are confirmed cases identified by genomic testing, but the 250 are an estimate extrapolated from these 10? I just trying to give him the benefit of doubt. Otherwise he was just making up 250, but why do that as the real figures are available and he should know I’d be caught out. Dumb on so many levels.
Just going to leave this here:

Honestly, I can almost forgive 9. It’s close to the actual number, and they could always make up some excuse of how after be gave the interview another case popped up. But 250!? Where did be pull that number out of?
Dominic Raab is the fucking definition of ‘failing upwards’. Next PM at this rate.
It’s okay, it’s only his JOB.
Or does he like so many of them have a second job which is more important to him?
More political wrongness from the man against political correctness
10 people… seriously? 10 people *with*… not even neccesarily suffering from that specifically, they just happen to test positive while in hospital.
This is beyond a joke now.
Anyone else just deeply tired of the same idiots in the Tory cabinet – people like Boris, Raab, Gove, Patel, Truss, Javid, Rees-Mogg, etc
Wish they’d bring some fresh people in to make politics in general just less awful having to hear from these same idiots
Hey, it’s very tricky to remember bullshit numbers.
How can the Tories be the party of fiscal responsibility and better for the economy when their best can’t even count to 10?
Is Raaaaaaaaaab the thickest person in government? There are so many contenders these days.
Fuck these people, the fact people are lining up for boosters and the guys are taking the piss and raking in money while the media is payed to not tell the truth and people havnt clicked on is sick. Vaccine passports that run out every 6 month etc and all the conspiracy over the last 2 year has come true. Fuck this man. Its as if they want us to rise up.
Will the UK go into lockdown pre or post Christmas?
Off topic but do sky really thing I would watch a 30 second unskippable advert for this video
And he still won’t be treated as bad as Diane abbot…
250 and 10 arent even close numbers. Trying to exaggerate to spread fear.
The only figure Raab cares about is the one he sees in the mirror at his local PureGym.
He didnt mispeak he lied. This government and media has lied so much about the Omicron varient to stir up fear its disgusting
