themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-19--Michael Gove says claims PM skipped coronavirus meetings are 'grotesque'

Michael Gove has hit back at claims that the Prime Minister Boris Johnson skipped coronavirus planning meetings as 'grotesque ' .
A damning report in the Sunday Times newspaper describes Mr Johnson 's government as having been complacent in its planning for the spread of Covid-19 in the UK .
It is claimed Mr Johnson missed five of the government 's COBRA meetings as the coronavirus crisis gathered pace .
An unnamed Downing Street insider told the Sunday Times : `` There 's no way you 're at war if your PM is n't there .
`` And what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't chair meetings .
`` He liked his country breaks .
`` It was like working for an old-fashioned chief executive at a local authority 20 years ago .
`` There was a real sense that he did n't do urgent crisis planning .
`` It was exactly like people feared he would be . ''
Michael Gove , who is Minister for the Cabinet Office , appeared on Sky News this morning to defend the Prime Minister and the government 's response to the coronavirus outbreak .
When the quote was put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said : `` The point I made about the Sunday Times article having one or two points off beam , this is one of the wildest off beam .
`` The idea that the Prime Minister skipped meetings that were vital to our coronavirus response is grotesque .
`` The truth is that there are meetings in government , some of which are chaired by the health secretary , some of which are chaired by other ministers , but the Prime Minister took all the major decisions .
`` No one , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been through recently , nobody can say the Prime Minister has n't thrown his heart and soul into this . ''
Criticism of the government 's preparation and response to the Covid-19 crisis has ramped up in recent days .
Earlier this week , a scientist leading scientist said her colleagues had argued for an earlier lockdown and more testing of patients but 'politicians refused to listen and act on advice ' .
Writing in The Guardian , Helen Ward , professor of public health at Imperial College London , said Mr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . '
And today leader of the opposition Sir Keir Starmer has accused the government of being 'too slow ' to react to the crisis .
Writing in the Mail on Sunday , he said : `` The government was too slow to enter the lockdown .
It has been too slow to increase the number of people being tested .
`` It has been too slow in getting NHS staff the critical equipment they need to keep them safe .
We need to make sure these mistakes are not repeated .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government has been too slow to respond to the growing emergency in our social care services . ''
It comes after medical chiefs raised strong concerns that some hospitals could run out entirely of certain Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) this weekend .
Yesterday , the government said more than 84 tons of essential PPE will arrive in the UK today .
At the daily Downing Street press conference , Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said the shipment was due to arrive in the UK from Turkey on Sunday .
He said this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of which NHS Providers , which represents hospital trusts , said on Saturday was now “ critical ” .
“ Supply in some areas , particularly gowns and certain types of masks and aprons , is in short supply at the moment , and that must be an extremely anxious time for people working on the front line , ” Mr Jenrick said .
“ But they should be assured that we are doing everything we can to correct this issue , and to get them the equipment that they need .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-19--Man Utd legend Scholes identifies best position for Marcus Rashford

Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rasshford has the `` intelligence and movement '' to play as a centre-forward , despite the Manchester United academy graduate 's success on the wing this season .
Rashford has scored 19 times for United this season , most of them from the left-hand side , in what has been his best campaign to date for the club .
Scholes has followed his development closely , watching the Wythenshawe youngster closely as he rose through the age groups , and the former United midfielder always felt his best position was a central striker .
Rashford has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United , but has now settled back into a left-wing position with Anthony Martial spearheading the attack .
Scholes hailed Rashford 's versatility in being able to contribute from both positions and explained why he was so impressed with him as a teenager .
“ I always remember watching him , mainly in the reserve team , and he was an out and out centre-forward , ” Scholes told the UTD podcast .
“ Sometimes I would go to games and just watch him , and not really watch where the ball was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement - is he clever enough to have that link with a midfield player ?
I think he has that .
“ I was really excited when he first got into the team , a little bit luckily at first - I think there was an injury to someone .
But ever since he has got into the team , he has shown the talent he has got as a centre-forward or a player wide on the left . ''
The debate about Rashford 's best position has cooled this season thanks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as his combination play with Martial .
Both of them are enjoying their best seasons in front of goal as United players , yet both are also capable of playing centrally or on the left-hand side .
While it is Martial who is the figurehead of the attack for now , Scholes insists Rashford still has all the attributes required to make it as a centre forward .
“ I always remember seeing him as a kid and I thought his intelligence and movement was as a centre-forward .
He looked like an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you see him in games , he seems to enjoy it more from the left-hand side . ''
