Goodbye Matt Hancock

So Mr Hancock, England’s Secretary of State for Health, has gone. It took a long time. Throughout my diary, now a book reporting the first year of the pandemic, there are dozens of examples of his inefficiency, duplicity and bombastic behaviour. 

He was the wrong man for the most important job.

Now we hope Sajid Javid will look after the public better, be honest with them, and not treat them as.children. 

The latest drama is another example of the danger the prime minister faces. As usual he refused to sack Mr Hancock and is relieved no doubt  by his resignation. But will the public forget his misguided patronage? I have my doubts. 

The whole country seems to have resigned itself to being misled and ignored.
