1/. The many emotions of Matt Hancock
REMORSE: @MattHancock realises that the deliberately late lockdown increased the #COVID death toll by at least 20,000 & that the govt’s policy of transferring people from hospitals to care homes without testing also killed tens of thousands

2/. GUILT
Hancock is asked about failures with the contact tracing app, with testing, with providing PPE to frontline NHS staff, with doing checks in airports, with late introduction of masks & why he says he “didn’t know about asymptomatic transmission”!

3/. DISTRESS
@MattHancock is asked why billions of £ of #COVID19 contracts were fast-tracked to unqualified companies (including his neighbour’s) & why companies with links to #CambridgeAnalytica -
#Palantir & #FacultyAI - are running the NHS data store.

4/. SADNESS
After 9 months holding back the emotion, Hancock finally allows himself to break down in genuine tears...on live television
Is he crying for the 60,000+ Britons who’ve died of #COVID?
No! His tears are because he’s so “proud to be British”!

5/. FEAR:
Even in the face of mounting scandals & one of the highest #COVID19 death rates in the world, the govt was bullish
The only time the Cabinet seemed ruffled was when #Cummings’ trip to #BarnardCastle came out, as he was/is key to #PalantirPlan

6/. PRIDE:
“We’re clearly better than all other countries. That's why we approved the vaccine first & why this vaccine - developed by a Turkish-born German immigrant working for an American firm in Belgium - is a great British success" (via @larryandpaul)

7. COURAGE
Here @MattHancock is asked about his involvement the govt’s decision to award his local publican a multi-million pound PPE contract
Hancock shows his loyalty to his friend by denying all knowledge
The journalists can’t follow up & quickly move on to another scandal. https://twitter.com/StefSimanowitz/status/1337096185912430594

8/. DANGEROUS INCOMPETENCE
“It is better to act sooner,” says @MattHancock before announcing that the govt are waiting till Boxing Day to do anything.
It’s like the deadly 3 week delay in March all over. #PalantirPlan #HerdImmunityScandal #COVID19

@MattHancock: Yes
#MARR: Is It?
#HANCOCK: No
#MARR: Thank you, minister. Thank you so much.

10/. THE MANY SIDES OF @MattHancock - “Smouldering”
That awkward moment at a hen-do when you have to do a whip round to get enough cash to pay the stripper-gram to keep his clothes on!
