Hancock’s out but what’s his legacy?
While Matt Hancock may be gone, he leaves behind many questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, particularly when it comes to care homes.
Matt Hancock is health secretary no more, after footage revealed he’d broken the Covid rules during an affair with an aide.
While he may be gone, he leaves behind many questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, particularly when it comes to care homes.
Georgina Lee from our Fact Check team has looked into his past claims: did he really not have a list of homes in the country? Was the number of Covid positive patients sent back to care homes from hospitals really incredibly low?
And also: did he break the law or just Covid guidance during that infamous kiss?
These are the issues that will dominate a future inquiry – and Matt Hancock’s legacy will once again come under scrutiny.
