Has there ever been a more inept government than we have right now? What a joke.

@NoSquirrels

There's an exemption for chauffeur-driven cars.

So whilst Downing Street has been "making masks available" and "advising" ministers should wear them, he hasn't actually broken any rules.

I mean, it's ludicrous, of course. But still, really, WGAF? I can't be arsed to care. There's so many worse examples.

This is the first I'd heard about the exemption. Wonder what the rationale for that is?

@HeIenaDove

It was to *@lockeddownandcrazy* who was agreeing with what GMP Stretford had done.
How has what GMP Stretford did relevant?

Matt Hancock is not, and has never claimed to be, exempt from mask wearing for medical reasons.

I think we should all go out wearing Matt Hancock masks tomorrow.

[quote HeIenaDove]Its not actually rule breaking. Just more hypocrisy.

Haha. Not surprising in the slightest.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Can't judge him for this, seeing as I forgot to wear my mask in Poundland today.

Yes you are the health secretary in charge of directing ever increasing restrictions on a sceptical public.

He should be above reproach but then he did think nurses didn't give out vaccines, so hardly the sharpest knife in the draw.

He's guaranteed a hospital bed (and perhaps the expensive in short supply treatment Trump was given). Don't bank on the same.

Im not banking on the same Dont worry @SheepandCow i know my place

Cummings and his wife spread Covid to the north, and now Hancock spreads it around to the chauffeur and everyone who used the car. Now you know why Manchester and Lancashire, plus Birmingham, Liverpool etc are full of Covid, and London is now tier 2. Way to go, Tories (sarcasm).

@jasjas1973

Normally a government’s Health Secretary to not know certain nurses administer vaccines would be shocking, but with this rabble it’s run of the mill stuff
