Hancocks Days Are Numbered

[needawin]

If Matt Hancock had a full set he would be better to give Johnson the two fingers now and resign.
He alone has not been responsible for the virus dabacle but is going to fall for it.
Accept that his Cabinet days are coming to a tearful end and get out with a little dignity.
Shortly we are coming to the "not me guv" point where Boris pins the blame on medical experts and any other poor chumps that backed him.

He has always had an unenviable task and may well be a casualty. He might even decide he's had enough of those who blame him when no-one else would have wanted the job.

Or, Boris has more scruples than you think. The who government has been tested like never before, they have been found wanting in places, but if you think a Labour leadership could've done better, you're living in cloudcuckooland.

Now is not the time for triumphant baiting of the government, it's for pulling together for the greater good, but you don't work like that do you Needawin?

Poor bloke would've been attacked no matter what he did - he really is damned if he didn't damned if he did.

He was being blamed for PPE fer christ's sake - there are idiots on this site (well, one in particular) who blamed him for PPE, despite supplying PPE is not the Government's job and despite the NHS having highly-paid procurement people who's sole job it is to, er, procure.

Matt Hancock has spent far to much time covering up the past mistakes of tory leadership, dare I say, the lack of PPE kept in stock, and old stock not replaced when it should have been. Each time he's conducted a briefing he's just been digging a bigger hole for himself. But that's what all politicians do, I wouldn't think a blame game is on the cards until this is over, or controlled, then the *** will hit the fan, if it happened now you would see public support hit the deck, big time.

Sorry but we've had so many lies, promises and assurances from the 5 p.m. podium in recent weeks. The only thing that is worth believing is that most of the utterances are lies aka statistics.

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care had notified trusts to stop procuring their own personal protective equipment in early April as it was vital that the UK Government procures items nationally rather than individual NHS organisations
