The home secretary revealed that in London one Covidiot was racing at 134mph in a 40mph zone while another was clocked at 151mph on the M1.
She said: ‘Police and fire (services) continue to put their arms around people and our communities by taking people shopping and taking prescriptions to the elderly.
