Metro – Now Boris rewrites history
The Metro focuses on the fallout of Matt Hancock’s departure as health secretary, carrying claims the PM is “rewriting history” by suggesting he sacked Matt Hancock despite “doggedly standing by him”.
On Monday the PM defended his actions after Mr Hancock’s resignation as health secretary over breaking social distancing guidelines with a colleague. Asked why he hadn’t sacked Mr Hancock, the PM replied: “I read the story on Friday and by Saturday we had a new health secretary.” However, on Friday, No 10 said the PM had accepted an apology from Mr Hancock and considered the case “closed”.
The front splash features a picture of some of the England squad as they face Germany tonight for the latest in the Euro 2020 games.
