The health secretary’s approach to fighting the coronavirus gives him the upper hand against ministers eager to get Britons back to work. If the trade-off is between saving lives and saving jobs, saving lives is always going to win

Instead of keeping the rate of infection within the capacity of the NHS, it seems that Hancock wants to try something more ambitious: to suppress the virus altogether, using the programme of “test, track and trace” that he announced on Thursday.and Hancock’s answer was significant.

No probs mow the Messiah is back Monday no 10 Bojo.

Bo wonder your readership fell through the floor

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt. 😷

he seems to be the main puppet ! his hand movements wind me up !

An even worst PM in waiting than awol Johnson,

100% agree.

Hardly

Is this meant to be sarcasm?

No. Dominic Cummings is the real prime minister.

Interesting points. The track and trace strategy would appear to be a valid exit proposal. Would this make the UK the first to track down all cases completely? Assuming of course that it is completed with total coverage.

Sad, I don't like him.

And he's shite!!

God help us all then.

Fuck me bring back boris

you know you've been in the quarantine for too long when you read his name as hand cock

The real deputy is Chris Witty. The only person on those podiums which inspire any sense of confidence.

Matt Hancock 'The dirty war on the nhs' interests lie solely on replacing GPs with apps...deputy prime minister? help us!

I’m sure he’s just as bad as the unreal deputy prime minister

ha ha ha.

Boris, Hand-Cock and Rabb C etc will face endless litigation for their unnecessary and devastating lock down

😂🤡

He is making 'good' use of the opportunity. And he can also keep the same sized deadpan face while telling a lie so... Actually, it's a face like he's constipated but deadpan will do.

Who's the real Prime Minister?

No Aint

God help us

Odd as I thought the liberal left position is that he's first for the sack !

God help us 🙄

Naga Munchetty rips into Matt Hancock in furious testing row: 'It was your target!'NAGA MUNCHETTY hit out at Matt Hancock on BBC Breakfast today as the pair discussed whether the daily target of 100,000 coronavirus tests would be met. When the Health Secretary conceded that nothing is 'guaranteed,' Munchetty reminded him that he'd set out the target in an interview on the show earlier in the month. Go Naga! Every man on the border to fly to the UK must give a fingerprint we stop wanted in the EU and the machine will examine the eyes, ears, temperature body.The virus showed that terrorists can destroy a country simply by using a virus now it has succeeded so next future can try again Obnoxious pouting waste of space - she really is all about her.

What are the odds on nobody in the Cabinet rolling a 6 for a month? What absolute diatribe. It really is alarming how so called journalists can invent fake news and then write their personal opinion. Their job is to question not guess.
