The health secretary’s attempt to adopt the persona of a man doing the decent thing is grating… but at least he had to own up
Ministers are keen to find the answers to two questions about that video of Matt Hancock getting off with Gina Coladangelo, and neither of them is “How badly did her brother need that contract?!” Question one is: “Who put a camera in the health secretary’s office?” And question two is: “Who leaked footage from it to the newspapers?”
When that person (or those people) is found, they’re not going to be congratulated. The government hasn’t got an OBE waiting for this valiant snooper who exposed hypocrisy and misconduct at the second-highest level. (The highest level’s already been done and apparently that’s priced in.) No, they’re going to be in big trouble. If only someone had videoed them obtaining the footage. Though then that person would be for the high jump.
