Not only are this government adopting a classic drip drip eugenics methodology with the Convid_19 strategy, that kills off the weakest in terms of health and immune systems i.e the elderly (most of whom voted for them in December election) and the disabled but instead of giving daily press conferences and updating the nation with facts (known at the time) they are drip feeding information out via notorious sympathetic media.
They are currently using the racist and quite frankly notoriously hateful Spectator and the Telegraph (just as bad) which has a paywall. Cynically it probably means that instead of facts they prefer propaganda.
You should have put this out on PA not behind a pay wall. You are the Sec of State for Health, you owe us all explanations and information – not just Torygraph readers.

Hancock should be on every news channel with these updates, not writing bloody articles for the torygraph.

No sane person reads or believes the Torygraph. If you have some public information put it on a public website.

As many including Conservative party (increasingly ex Tory party) voters are stating this is ‘shameful’. Many more are having their eyes opened to the complete disdain they are held by what many are also stating as ‘monsters’ and worse.
Hi Matt, you festering cretin. Any reason why you still have a job as Health Secretary when your version of "maximum transparency" means putting coronavirus-related statements behind a paywall in the Torygraph instead of ISSUING THEM PUBLICLY???

Who the fuck gives out policy information via the Torygraph??? What kind of communications strategy is this?? #boristhebutcher and his shower of amateurs should RESIGN NOW!!!

Having leaked and subtly advocated a ‘herd immunity’ methodology via selected journalists including Robert Peston, they have measured the public response and are now backtracking publicly.
What's going on? I'm suspicious, first major #coronavirus news announced through @peston and then @MattHancock writes an article about govt #coronavirus plans behind Daily Torygraph paywall. This will shortly be followed by right-wing commentators asking to trust the government

However, given that lying is their programmed mode it is impossible for the public to know what is actually going on. What they can surmise is that this government at a time of internal crisis is not fit for purpose.
Precisely – Hancock in the Torygraph this morning – 19Hrs (yes folks less than a day) – "Sir" Patrick Vallance says precisely the opposite….trust this gov't? yeh I'd trust my local butcher to remove my appendix first.https://t.co/C37sbKow0q pic.twitter.com/zRsxUaIG7c

We can guarantee the Conservative party will not learn from this. They only have power because they played the Brexit card. What a long time ago that feels as many of those who voted for them are about to find out in the harshest of ways.
