Matt Hancock hangs Rishi Sunak out to dry at Covid Inquiry 

Didn’t Handcock agree to appear only if he was immune from prosecution?

@@andyetheridge Sounds like something similar to a plea deal

You may be right @@andyetheridge. However, and somebody please put me right if I'm wrong, In these proceedings, he is giving evidence as a witness, as opposed to being interviewed, ie questioned formally about his suspected involvement in an offence. In the case of the latter, he would need to be cautioned, ie told that he needn't say anything, and that what he says may be given in evidence, in addition, he would be entitled to legal representation, otherwise, nothing of what he said would be admissable. Again, please, let me know if I have this wrong.

He won't .....like Blaire

​@poplife123 keep with the subject 😊

Let's not forget he employed someone with public money he knew he was going to try it on with... Successfully from his point of view. How is that not state sponsored prostitution!

That's not to mention the countless, disabilities and deaths that occurred after the government told us to get vaccines that were supposed to protect our now dead mothers and grandmothers.

The people that imposed austerity on what they themselves described as 'feckless scroungers' do not care one bit about anything or anyone else but themselves, everyone else is their enemy

Scumbag is given. How rubbish is he is the point here.

Gave him 2 million to shaft ppe.no factory no staff no business apart from a pub disgusting pathological liar.

That would apply to Hunt too.

This person as a politician is ludicrous

That applies to all politicians, there are very few or no people in parliament who would be scientific experts in anything. They are there to be the union between the public and the scientific advisory committees, as well as budget decisions. I’m not saying the system is wise, but it is what it is as expertise is not a prerequisite by any means.

@@AdamCALO I hear what you are saying. The question is, would you expect an electrician to deal with a plumbing issue?

Being an MP/minister is probably the only job that doesn't need any qualifications.

Question is… can they be prosecuted? And if so, what for? I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that due to their roles within govt during periods such as these, they are exempt …..e.g if you are Health Secretary being asked to deal with a virus the world has never seen, how exactly are you held accountable for decisions made when not even the scientists were 100% certain? I think if there was one thing we can be certain of is regardless of the crisis at hand, there is no possible excuse for financially benefiting as most appear to have done. This for me is abundantly clear and the mis appropriation of tax payers money evident.

ABSOLUTELY

Sending infected elderly back into care homes in order to spread the disease knowing it would kill them is that not a crime its blatantly murder

He won't be prosecuted 😂 don't be silly. The whole enquiry is pointless

Sunak?

All of them then?

All trying to save their own hides.

Looking forward to Johnson next week.

Like criminals

The problem is what good can come out of that, we need witnesses that aren't official but were there. Except civil servants are the most derided group and they may never work again if they blow the whistle.

He has money. We don't jail our wealthy people.

How are the lot of them not in jail.

I'm not in charge or we would have a Gulag for this sort of ☆☆☆☆.

@@OanKnight Ah yes, money talks after all

attended the schools you and i didnt.....

We shouldn't. The sooner we realise this the better. These committees are pointless. What are we learning here? That Matt Hancock is an idiot? Who didn't know that years ago? We only need ask what system allows stupidity like this to rise to to the top, and then get rid of it.

Never again - all trust gone.

We'll see on election day! But we'll GET no different from LABOUR! Thers NO differens between them! But the British people's will never learn OR will the VOTERS SURPRISE them come voting DAY?.

Lenient. Not life then 😢

@@christopherraffell5182 He would be 75 next time he sees daylight

not when youve attended the correct schools and institutions, etc...

Not a very intelligent comment.Use your brain

In which case, given 'Eat out's policy, which neither Sage or Hancock were not consulted upon, you advocate that for Mr Sunak too.

"uppermost" i doubt that very strongly. unacceptable from them

Calculated sly cunning. Like all the idiots of his time on the front .just like now no matter what he's says there actions killed people..

He's had years practicing appearing to be competent...to the unwise he could fool,to the normal observation he's an incredibly incompetent liar

His image of rehabilitating his image has only further shown what a total idiot he is. Complete shambles in the Jungle & his 'Barbie & Ken ' sing song walking along the beach showed what a total plonker he is.

No one gets to the top of anywhere if their ability to bullshit isn't second nature

Personally I think he's been radiating guilt all along and anyone watching all of this would take much of it as 100% bullshit. Boris Johnson was a pathological liar with no shame - Matt Hancock is an absolute solipsist who genuinely believes he is being victimised. He thinks he did a good job despite a horrific death toll and having an affair over the top. It was his opportunity to take the stage and he got lost in his own brilliance. He's truly pathetic.

said jesus....

100% and without reservation. I think the problem the public have is conceptualising how venal tories are. You get glimpses occasionally like BJ's 'let the bodies pile high' but people have problems understanding that, yes, he really doesn't care if you live or die. And neither do most of the cabinet. They are the party of the high functioning psychopath.

Their plan was to kil as many sick and elderly people as possible and at the same time tty and make it look like they wer trying to help them who else would get away with murder only them

I cant bare to listen to this malignant creep.

Would sell their own mums eyesight for the right price

With respect I'd like to correct you: "Such a sly and devious Individual. Ahh yes, british politician."

Hell hath no fury like an unappointed (and so, disappointed) would-be Cabinet Minister.

I don't think Labour need help for the next elections. The Tories have already thrown in the towel

@@randomdaveUK the down side is the tories have got this country up on bricks, the wheels have gone, the engines gone, the interiors gone. The only thing left is the radio and they’re using screwdrivers to pull that out.

​@randomdaveUK yep, they're fecking up the country on purpose and setting up labour to fail wherever they can.

​@@randomdaveUKthe conservatives will have likely accepted their loss for the next general election but they'll still want to focus on trying to gain as many seats as possible. The more embarrassing they look the bigger the Labour majority.

Totally agree. All the cabinet had been promoted well above their capacity. Johnson should NEVER have been Prime minister.

An economist? Hancock? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@strangetrip837 Nobody said he was a good economist. 😄

He was promoted well above his capacity when he was made David Cameron's bag carrier. Letting him within a million miles of the levers of state is just criminal. It's a collective embarrassment that we even know who he is.

@@susanmorgan3104 that damned democracy!

Never

Lord Carrington was Foreign Secretary in 1982 when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. He took full responsibility for the failure to foresee this and resigned.

Under vivisection perhaps. Only one way to be sure.

When he has been caught out allegedly

If you ask them if they want more taxpayers money. "Ooh Yes Please."

He didn't have the skills, underpinning knowledge , the industry background or the competence for the position and should never have been in the job.

Was too busy giving contracts to his pals!

You have a strategy BEFORE you have a plan. Doesnt work the other way around.

He clearly had very little understanding as health minister

great comment...

He isn't a monster you dope.

@@jamesjarrett52 Whst else would you call a serial liar who's errors cost the lives of thousands?

this is the only punishment he recieve.how do you shame the unshamefull.and yet youtube still trying to silence us for the tory party .youtube needs to be fined for allowing this to happen as much as any one .

DnaMoDz- his lips are moving that how you can tell he is lying

Quite striking isn't it 🧐

To think he ran the country for health & wellbeing. Ridiculous

As was everybody else from all political genres,nobody had ever experienced anything like it in our lifetime and that even includes all of the armchair You Tube experts.Not sticking up for anybody just stating the blatantly obvious

Boris pater est dim Albion in declinit

you too can become as slippery as a bucket of eels....just attend the correct schools requiring £45,000 (per term).....No Accountabilty included in fee..

Or partied whilst old people died alone.staff had no ppe.they couldn't even Bury them with dignity

This inquiry needs to go up a level or two and ask: why did our scientists NOT look into other strategies to keep deaths low. For instance, in other countries they were using early treatment and even older people with comorbidities managed to avoid death. Did you see Trump and Bolsonaro die when they got COVID? No, they took some ehm generic medication and early treatment. Why did the government IGNORE THIS?

It's genocide, convid lie to scare the sheep

Hopefully, if a similar situation as Covid occurs again, this inquiry will prevent the same mistakes and failures.

In a real country, once the enquiry was finished, all these shitweasel politicians would be put in prison. In this banana republic, they’ll be rehabilitated by the press and be on Strictly in a few months

They aren't paid very well considering the responsibilities. Maybe they should pay more but ban second jobs, hopefully it would cut out some of the lobbying sleaze.

They are not well paid compared with other politicians in Europe or America, their pay is not great. Their pay should be higher with a lower expenses level.

Now it's "The Mask wears here". :-(

But they have done nothing, absolutely nothing or bare minimum. They r neither proactive or reactive infact barely active, which Hancock was with his secy or whoever she was

Secretary of State for Health and Social Care yet seemingly he was clueless about the latter...

🤢 Thanks, now I've got an image 😂

reference acknowledged.....you aint hiding that...

If R is below 1, the infection rates are dropping. Doesn’t matter if it 0.99, it’s a magic number

@@richplant2205 It's the same with any numerical discussion in the media. They can't process proportion. They convert any proportion into a binary, e.g. too high or too low, above one or below one, on target or not on target. They do this with problems as well. In their minds its always either/or. There is no such this as a range of different solutions and combination of solutions. My conclusion is there is something fundamentally wrong with their brains and I suspect it is the way they are educated.

Ruining not running.

Just imagine how thick the idiots who voted these lying incompetent thieving shysters into power, these people shouldn't be allowed to ever vote again 🙄.

I'm this video Hancock refers to himself as a "trained economists". He was head of Health for the UK, during a pandemic Ineptitude. Useless.

Are... These "people" are running the country.

'Killing'.

He said he fell In love 😂😂😂😂😂😂

How did he find the time ?????

Does adultery prohibit an individual from being generally trusted or perhaps holding an office of trust or authority? I understand the point of course, not sure however how many of us would pass muster. King Charles springs to mind and countless others in positions of power currently are popping in to my head.

Brexit. The blonde Garden Bridge Pig banished all but the swivel-eyed Loons in his Party by 2019. Even Machiavellian Michael Gove admitted a Brexit-obssessed mindset Government at the time

there are not enough @clivebarretts in the country....and there never will be. the sad reality...

Yes that's the question I keep asking. Why do the public keep voting for Tories.

mental illness@@susanmorgan3104

2020 had the 18th LOWEST DEATH RATE over previous 30 years - Office for National Statistics !!!!!

How uk covid numbers were far higher than other European countries because we counted the infections totally differenty from other countries. If the other countries counted the same as us the numbers would be similar. The NHS CANNOT be financed as it was in 1948/49 Free at the point of access is no longer economically viable,it must change! It has to be a mix of public funding and private heathcare. Only a fool would keep running it the way it is now.

@@nearlyretired7005 Firstly, if large and multinational companies were to be taxed properly - even as they SHOULD be being taxed under existing UK tax law, then there would be ABUNDANT money to fund the NHS. Secondly, the changes made by Blair's 'New Labour' imposed a layer of middle management - actually a MASSIVE and mainly unnecessary layer - which has made the NHS far less efficient and cos-effective. This could, and should, be reversed. Also, Blair divided up the NHS into separate Health Care Trusts, paving the way for creeping privatisation. Moreover, Blair insisted on Private Funding Initiatives, which have burdened hospitals with huge debts. Thirdly, the creeping privatisation since 2010 has meant that money destined for the NHS has in fact been diverted into the hands of the (now) privately owned and run Health Care Trusts, and other out-sourced privately run businesses. Thus, most of the money given by government (ostensibly) to the NHS ends up in the hands of businesses which are all too often donors to the Tory Party. This is much the same as with the PPE Procurement scandal, and the Test and Trace debacle, where tens of billions of pounds ended up in the hands of donors to the Conservative Party - thanks to the so-called 'Fast Lane' for awarding government contracts to their cronies. It's called CORRUPTION. I can give citations for ALL the things I've highlighted in this comment. As to your assertion that other European nations counted excess deaths differently from how this is done in the UK - citations required, if what you say can be proven as being credible. Your comment demonstrates an appalling ignorance - or is that a deliberate attempt at misinformation on your part?

and you think Labour are any better ? Same bollox different way of saying it. we need a new system

I truly believe if Starmer was in power when he was calling for a lockdown/ brake fortnight in late 2020 my father would still be alive. Johnson was still farting around just before Christmas! My dad died of covid January 2021 Our kids went to school for one day that week, before a lockdown was finally announced, because of the bloody tories my dad is dead. I’ve stopped crying and now i’m very angry ! I want sunak Johnson and Hancock to be prosecuted. I also want a Labour government as do many now

@@sarahmbairdWhere is this new system going to come from? The Tories aren't going to give you one and the Lib Dems just aren't strong enough. If you think Fartage is going to come to your rescue think again he's even worse than the Tories.

Well written Denise

I don’t like this guy this government or how they handled the pandemic, but it’s pretty clear from this he was telling Rishi that the scheme was doing serious damage

BS. Tories own that cluster f**k. Grow up

The Labour Party were lied to as were the rest of us. In a time of national crisis what on earth would you expect them to do?

Oh. It's the labour parties fault again?

​@@philipclayton971he's a COVIDiot anti-vaxer, the kind that believes we shouldn't have had any lockdowns and that it was all some of scam to allow the government to become more authoritarian, as though the Tories ever needed COVID for the past 13 years to run this country into the ground. 🙄

Well said the Labour Party was just as much to blame but then again both Tory and Labour are WEF puppets and were obeying orders throughout the entire Covid farce!

So nothing in this was to protect the citizens, and not even the party! It was all to protect the individual. To hear him say he shut down info getting out. Despicable.

it F@@king works though ....

No, you aren't imagining it. They've got well worn poker faces, but it's undoubtedly there.

@nobbycheeseman- you expecting them to put the interests of the country ahead of themselves and their political aspirations- now that is a novel idea

This has happened throughout Governmental History!

Hancock is selfish womaniser his poor wife and kids witness this through media

You have to wonder what Gina Coca Cola ever saw in this hugely unattractive, conceited oaf?@@johnnyrockabilly4962

or character reference....

Hopefully they were Black Widows. He He He

He in way over his head. No corporation would have him as a nationwide head. Only this govt. 100% inept

class 😂😂😂

brilliant

Thats a queer remark to make.

I have just thrown up, at the thought. 😂😂😂🐱🐱🐱.
