'Let me finish please' Matt Hancock shut down by KC for interrupting during Covid-19 Inquiry

- Former health secretary Matt Hancock faced a grilling during the UK Covid-19 Inquiry as Jacqueline Carey KC demanded he stopped interrupting her questions.
He argued the government did “everything we possibly could” in the face of the virus.
“Does that mean, in a system that employs 1.4 million people in the NHS, with another around two-and-a-half million in social care, that every decision was perfect? Of course, it wasn’t.”
Asked whether the imposition of visiting restrictions, which meant that some people could not be at the bedside of a dying relative, or could not have their partner with them in childbirth, were too strict, he said: “I think that we were balancing incredibly difficult considerations on both sides. I think, on balance, we got those broadly right across the pandemic, but I entirely understand and feel the very strong arguments on both sides.”
He added: “Where I think we got it wrong, for instance, was the way that the funeral guidance was applied on the ground, it wasn’t as had been intended.
“But of course, funerals are places where people gather and are deeply emotional and people come together, and that was also the thing that was driving the spread of the virus. So these were very difficult considerations, and broadly on balance, I think they were about right.
“But we can go through every single decision, and you can, you can easily make an argument one way or the other.”

I hope all can see through this little man
Well that woman certainly can 😅
horrible lying little man
He was doing what he was told to do.
What a vile little excuse for a human being. One minute he struts about as hero of the hour and the next he is blaming the World and his wife for everything that went wrong. There is not a shred of honour or integrity in his entire body.
Should be locked up.
totally agree ; that said , your last sentence can be applied to pretty much all of them , both sides of "the divide"
@@a.c.4732 Yes but Hancock really is in a class of his own. Thank God
@ClaireGrady-s9g you know what Claire , I do believe you're absolutely right . A true King amongst Kings - all kinds of puns intended 😉
Seriously? Does anyone really believe that Hancock has anything to say that's worth listening to?
No.
No, they will go to there graves telling here lies and covering there ass ! To till the truth they don't know how it !
Yes..."anything you say may be used in evidence"...so many of the previous government should have their freedom removed.
Two Tire wanted stricter lockdownds and vaccine mandates for employment across the board tho!
This despicable man just makes me want to vomit! Unfortunately so many just like him in the political world!
Well said sir. He brings on the same 'Starmer nausea' reaction in me too.
This is the man who abused his position and power to get his mistress close, had an affair to the detriment of his wife
And STILL is a politician?
How
He obviously can't be trusted
Unfortunately, as a politician his record fits in very well.
Pretty much sums up all politicians
We should have learnt that no politician can be trusted
Pony, power, conection and corruption 😳🙏🏻😔🕊✝️
A weasel
Murdered the elderly,complete liar.lied to his wife,lied to his poor poor children,lied to the country so he gets paid by wef.Belongs in jail for the rest of his life
Agreed.
agree
Midazolam Matt
Must be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.ASAP.
And where did all the money go on the ppe scandel.
all in there mates pockets pretty obv
why isn't he in prison with bozo
Tory donors
And the .money from track n trace run by Dido Harding!
You missed out the 'l' in her first name!
Mass murderer!! Should be jailed for life!!!!
guilllotine
Hancock will shift the blame to everyone else.
Hancock and Johnson should go to prison
Midazolam Matt needs to be held accountable
Be nice for his children and wife to see him on TV. HORRIBLE LITTLE MAN
For sure !
Lies lies lies can’t listen to this corruption it’s a other level
🚨 Ask him why he "Approved" the jabs, when they had not adhered to the usual Nurombourg Code?
Strange how he sounds like Prince Andrew answering who was also lying 😂
😂
He's just another bad actor. He visited 1 hospital!!
And you followed him round did you ?
@crispyduck1706 yes, every single time he set foot outside his door. (Ask a stupid question 🙄)
When the truth comes out, he will be one of the first to be charged with crimes against humanity.
I bet he isn't charged with anything. that's not how it works. Wake up!
@@SaxonSuccess exactly ; Tony Blair : snake oil salesman to the masses
Ask about the use of Madazalam drug use 😊 in nursing homes
He made 10 million on ppe, his sister set up a ppe firm that got paid 10 million, up front,!!! BUT DELIVERED RUBBISH,
Phone a doctor or 111 and get told, come back when you can't breathe, get taken in only to be isolated from your family, only to die a week later , effectively alone and terrified.
This is a person who simply refuses to be flushed away...
Not a good man .. should not be in politics .. or health of any kind .
I disagree - he ticks every box for todays political classes .
Guided by the WEF and made millions
Should be in court & then jailed
Lie after lie after lie............
What a complete waste of money..this is costing an absolute fortune..could probably fill in the stupid 22 billion black hole...what a bloody jolly for all the bari 3:32 sters legal people etc etc etc involved in this..its estimted that almost 800 people are involved in this totsl nonsense
What an absolute beg of an excuse of an man. No shame. He thought he had backup and then he was dropped. 😮
LIAR
No Transparency No Liability & No Accountability!
Oddly, I went to the Royal London Hospital, in Whitechapel in 2020, and was told by a nurse that there were no Cov!d cases in the hospital. I'd like to write more, but YT will quickly delete my comment.
I did a round of the Undertakers asked them how business was not exactly in those words average to below average.
Nasty little man, it was a con.
Just another Tory liar .
Put the Lying little crook
Behind bars.
He finds it easy to see people suffering.
We all know what he is and what he stands for. Say no more hey for now.
He’s so bloody arrogant. An absolute KoK.
How come they let him take off his orange jumpsuit?
Should be jailed
He loves himself so much!
You know hes lieing, his mouth is moving
To think he had the audacity to go on Im a celeb! 🤬
The reality is that nothing will happen to him for his actions ! The system is rotten , the likes of him will be protected by the establishment as has happened throughout the history of this corrupt nation . He will end up knighted , the House of Lords ? but never the inside of a prison cell where he rightly belongs
Lifetime in jail for that thing.
No vip lanes are neither mentioned or looked into this man should be in jail if a tweet sends you their pathetic . This covid enquiry is a waste of time and money none of them will be heald to account. Michelle moan has been swept under the carpet this man is a disgrace 😢
Complete waste of money as nothing ever happens to these charlatans.
Weasle
Corruptions amass
Crimes against humanity 💔
Awful Man
What about the contract this odious little man awarded a friend……who owned a pub!
Lieing corrupt little man should be behind bars.
Audit the financials. Always follow the money!
How did this lying, cheating, self serving and despicable odious individual become a millionaire whilst being a failure of a politician?
Liar Liar 😈😈
Waste of time & taxpayer's money - unless you are a lawyer.
what are they hiding on the BBC not broadcasting him I would like to no
They only have 2 viewers watching the BBC now
Loves his own voice
This inquiry has made lots of lawyers incredibly wealthy, but all in all waste of time as they will not let public know the real truth..this has been nothing more than theatre
also those he is a weasel do people here honestly think they or Labour could have done better - grow up
I thought this enquiry might be about lifting the lid on what a big con it all was. Not furthering the lie, which from this clip, seems to be the case.
Can you imagine THAT, cross examining you in a court room!
He should just wear a mask and stay home like he told everyone else to comply
Jail
M - I - D -A - Z - O - L - A - M
Liar don’t believe a word
Madazalam Matt the mass murderer. Still not in jail.
Matt Hancock W⚓
He was our 'Saviour' says the Evening standard, your paper promoted these ridiculous , horrible people.
There was several wards empty in Prince Charles hospital Merthyr during the COVID nonsense but as a contractor on site we were told to keep very quiet,,,,,,, ,😮
Odious individual
"The government should have been even more draconian. Next time we will be". Is likely to be the outcome.
Many retired doctors were never recalled despite volunteering
Snake
The bareface cheek of this terrible man is outstanding.
😡😡😡
Only place for Hancock is a jail cell.
Drama title
This man cannot be trusted in my opinion
Hancock is The Worst
Utter contempt for the public hey up the public put him there back then
He has now got his equity card
It was all agency staff on hundreds of pounds per day. He knows fine.
Should be in the dock never mind a soft ball enquiry.
Wonder if he gets free pints at his local where the landlord provided PPE as a 'preferred provider' 🤔
Absolutely corrupt individual
If you were "fighting on behalf of those to which it was happening..." how pathetically ineffectual you were!
Kudos to the barrister for doing this traitor big time!
Yeah, she basically told him not everything is about u 😂
In the words of Meghan trainer, his lips are moving.
yes he was deeply involved ! in filling the pockets of his mates with our cash, thats all he did
You people love him. You're still paying his wages after all the gross misconduct he has done LOL
Hancocks Half(hearted) Hour
I can't keep count of how many times I have deleted what I think.
Why was he shot down by the Kennel Club?
This guy is a 🤥 and a very dangerous individual.
Still breathing then Matt.....that's good... Midazolam brought many of us here.
We'll see won't we.
Like the massive Nightingale wards set up to great publicity.... the obvious question: Staff?
Utter waste of time and money, all for "window dressing".
Needs a back hander.
Pants on fire
