Re: What Matt Hancock can get away with - example

Matt Hancock denies claiming to have ‘thrown a protective ring around care homes’ despite saying it live on TV

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...-tv/ar-AAKLcFq

The now-notorious statement – which ignored the discharge of patients from hospital without Covid tests – came “much later about what we were doing for the winter plan”, the health secretary insisted.

But TV footage shows Mr Hancock made the claim in May 2020, at a Downing Street press conference, and that he was arguing he had protected care homes throughout.

“Right from the start, we’ve tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes,” the watching public was told. “We set out our first advice in February and, as the virus grew, we strengthened it throughout.”
Soapy lied then and he's lying now ..... there is no doubt that he will lie in his upcoming committee appearances .....

He is defending the NHS - they should have been doing the tests but they weren't. The safest place for patients was outside of hospitals.

Agreed. It was also a case of simple arithmetic. At the beginning, there were 25k patients involved but only 2k tests/day available. Surely everyone can see that 23,000 people would have to go without a test - and that's just the first day. On the 2nd day a further 23k patients would not be tested bringing the total up to 46,000, and so on.

It was only when the number of testing centres were ramped up, did the number of available tests become available and THAT was really outside of the NHS and Hancock's bailey-wick. Many of the testing centres that sprung up were privately operated laboratories.
