Matt Hancock slammed for 'disgraceful' comment about how 'some' nurses have died of coronavirus

Health Secretary Matt Hancock is being called"disgusting" and disrespectful" for saying that four doctors"and some nurses" have died of the coronavirus. We've seen very sadly four doctors die so far and some nurses.

Next time he Claps for the NHS i hope someone reads out his tweets 1.5m away from him.

Disgraceful indeed!

MattHancock on side we are clapping for the medical staff and on the other side Hancock said this. Really disappointing and disgraceful. Every briefing the govt should pay tributes, takes names and show pictures with permission from their families for those who died fighting.

You people scan the daily events just fuc*ing waiting for a singular word to get outraged at. There is a million reasons he could have said that, such as he didnt know the exact amount. If he'd said '4 doctors' only, you'd all be outraged about that. He's trying, calm down.

he’s generally a poor public speaker and very awkward. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For Pete's sake, the guy must be under enough pressure as it is, he is human 😷

Only 'slammed' in the luftwaffe press.

It just about sums it up. Nurses are not even significant enough stats. What do people expect from Tories? They are not the party that care.

How miserable situation! Most of them died just because lack of the PPE!!

Fake news.

Can't get more Tory than that.

Some may mean a few not less important.

If he is on the Autistic spectrum, then his words may not be intentionally insensitive. He normally is careful.

How disgusting can this rag get. So he said some nurses. Really and that causes fake outrage. Time this paper was banned. It's not so supple attack on this government is not working. This is not a game.

When it comes to equally valuing lives, utility generated across the whole population exceeds any made by a marginal cost benefit analysis of each lifeThis is basic economics,so annoying when people in power think theyre being cleverer for the greater good when the answers simple

Vile man😒

But the English say they believe the government is doing a good job, in the latest polling....

There has been widespread discussion of the deaths of the four doctors, have you named and discussed the dead nurses?

God Bless our NHS and All who work in HER! Britain's built from the Bottom UP. The same as everything in Life, You Need Solid Foundation without it all would collapse! Nurses are the Foundation of NHS without them Doctors cant Function. EVERYONE IN NHS is the TEAM nicjohnson17

No wonder the papers are going down the pan.

Every time a Tory opens its mouth it betrays its total disrespect for working class ppl, they disgust me

It is critical that the Government is held to account for its failures, inconsistencies and negligence.

still taking instructions from your Saudi paymasters

I’m not going to jump on the bandwagon of blaming this government for the mess we’re in. Don’t think anyone else in this country right now would be doing a much better job. But it’s fair to say, Boris and his handpicked cronies aren’t the most compassionate bunch we’ve ever seen.

The media is the virus !

Why should the truth be slammed by the Independent? ?

Now, the real problem is the language.

MattHancock low life vermin... and so he should be, maybe he should tell his SLEEVES up go and lend a hand with NHSuk do some real work..!!

With it.

Haven’t some nurses died of it then?

'Matt Hancock who thought writing off NHS debt would solidify his chances at being next PM against Rishi, has shot himself in the foot'

And so he should be!

Words I thought I'd never write: thank God for Matt Hancock | John CraceThe health secretary wrote off £13bn of NHS debt, promised 100,000 tests and acted like a grownup Totally agree. Credit where due. An honest, action and explanation-laden performance that inspired confidence. Shame BBC News 24 cut off part way through. I’ll watch Sky in future. Don't understand the MattHancock love in right now. This is the same guy that has told so many lies about hospitals, nurses, meetings with supermarkets, that I've genuinely lost count. He's a fraud, just like the rest of them. Is he the dude who is responsible for Wales having an agreement for 5,000 ventilators being cancelled and sent to England Instead?

Matt Hancock pays tribute to NHS staff who died fighting coronavirus'Many of those who’ve died from the NHS were people who came to this country to make a difference and they did and they’ve given their lives in sacrifice. We salute them.' Only 0.16%(2000 out of half a million workforce) NHS staff has been tested so far,they should be given priorities to be tested right away within a fortnight realistically but definitely not till the end of April!! Every minute⏳counts as delay in testing will cost more innocent lives lost due to our incompetent Tory government undercutting NHS resources for the past decade or so. They continue to refuse to purchase sufficient life saving ventilators , testing kits & protection gear.
