Health Secretary Matt Hancock will hold a Downing Street press conference today, just a day after former Prime Ministerial advisor Dominic Cummings said he should have been sacked.
During a seven-hour evidence session to MPs yesterday, Wednesday, May 26, Mr Cummings said Boris Johnson was ‘unfit’ to lead and his Government’s failures had led to tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
Apart from the PM, he saved his fiercest criticism for Mr Hancock over failings around care homes policy, personal protective equipment (PPE) procurement and his public pledge on a testing target which caused disruption in Whitehall.
Mr Hancock has said the ‘unsubstantiated’ attacks are ‘not true’.
