Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on the Personal Conduct of Matt Hancock

The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Chair of the Labour Party, on 25 June 2021.

If Matt Hancock has been secretly having a relationship with an adviser in his office – who 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.
