Isn't the problem that they could have just said "yes, we hit 73,000 tests today, this isn't our target number, but it's a significant increase in a short period of time and we will hit 100,000 imminently' rather than fabricate the numbers to pass their own bellweather bollocks?
As ever, it's tory lies and mismanagement - their pride in upholding a stupid target - rather than just admitting the facts of the situation with a bit of fucking purpose and allowing things to at least remain truthful and factful.
Its very similar to cameron's 'tens of thousands' immigration figure that they've clung to for years without being able to actualise it, and rather than backtrack they just rehash the claim/fabricate the numbers a bit.

The 100,000 test metric is such a bellweather load of bollocks.
The media love this single figure kind of metric. Stop giving weight to its importance.
It's a simple figure that the unthinking can cling on to. The whole response to Covid-19 is more important than what a single politician said they'd do a while a go.
