The Resignation or Removal of Rt Hon Matt Hancock from Government
Matt Hancock's position as Secretary of state for health and social care is now untenable. He has been caught in breach of the guidelines he helped draft and that we the people have lived under for 15 months at risk of being fined if found in breach ourselves
Matt Hancock's unsteady leadership of the health department has risked the lives of many and ended thousands needlessly. This is just the latest evidence he is not up to the task and the Prime Minister should demand his resignation and remove him forthwith
