Breaking: Matt Hancock admits breaking social distance rules with kiss
Matt Hancock has admitted to breaking social distancing rules after pictures of him kissing an aide were published in The Sun.
He said he had “let people down” after photos emerged of him with Gina Coladangelo – whom he appointed – and was “very sorry”.
The health secretary said he would stay “focused” on dealing with the pandemic.
The Sun published the pictures of married Matt Hancock and married Ms Colandeangelo today, and alleged they were taken inside the Department of Health in early May.
Labour Party chairwoman Annaliese Dodds said: “If Matt Hancock has been secretly having a relationship with an adviser in his office – whom he personally appointed to a taxpayer-funded role – it is a blatant abuse of power and a clear conflict of interest.
“The charge sheet against Matt Hancock includes wasting taxpayers’ money, leaving care homes exposed and now being accused of breaking his own Covid rules.
“His position is hopelessly untenable. Boris Johnson should sack him.”
