It seems laughable now, but I do remember how the disgraced
former Tory Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, told us in 2021, that the UK is not
"remotely a corrupt country."
Yet, we also know from a text he sent to Dominic Cummings in
2020, that he called his health secretary, Matt Hancock, "totally fucking hopeless." and that
Hancock had said publicly, that he wasn't embarrassed by the PM's remarks.
Now we know, that complaints that were made by Matt Hancock,
about the Daily Mirror, have all been rejected by the press regulator IPSO. All
the complaints were made under Clause 1 of the Editors' Code (accuracy). The
Daily Mirror articles, included allegations that Hancock:
* "Presided over PPE contracts handed out to
acquaintances of ministers and officials, including his ex-pub landlord"
during the Covid-19 pandemic.
* "broke ministerial code by failing to declare he held
shares in a family firm that won an NHS contract."
* was "a failed health secretary and cheating husband who
broke the lockdown rules he wrote, doubled down on the lies he told, helped
enrich his mates via the infamous VIP PPE lane, and couldn't resist monetizing
the infamy he acquired as a result of his ineptitude at managing the pandemic.
