We Consider The Matt Closed

Pity about Matt Hancock. He was a real hands-on Minister. But the story isn’t the hapless ex-Health Secretary’s office affair, it’s the serious implications of leaked CCTV, off-books emails to “collaborators” and Boris Johnson’s self-serving role in this mess. Plus: How do we future-proof the economy? Lib Dem treasury spokesperson Christine Jardine is our special guest.

• “You can't be a Health Secretary in a pandemic if everyone's making knob jokes about you.” – Marie le Conte

• “You cannot level on up on the cheap.” – Miatta Fahnbulleh

• “This government keeps coming up with sticking plasters, not long-term solutions to get away from low wages and fossil fuels.” – Christine Jardine
