Matt Hancock’s ‘plot’ about disabled children is beneath contempt – reactions

Mr Hancock had been “drunk on power."

A plan by Matt Hancock has been branded an ‘absolute disgrace.’

In leaked Whatsapp messages it appears that Hancock contemplated withholding funding for a learning disability centre.

It would have been an attempt to pressure an MP not to rebel against Covid restrictions.

Senior Tory Sir Jake Berry described the disclosure as an “absolute disgrace”, suggested Mr Hancock had been “drunk on power.”

Warning

The former health secretary and an aide spoke about warning Bury North MP James Daly that a new centre for disabled children and adults would be “off the table” if he voted against the government, according to the Telegraph.

He described the disclosure as an “absolute disgrace.”

Denied

However Matt Hancock’s team said “what’s being accused here never happened” as they disputed the “entirely partial account” of the huge number of Whatsapp messages.

Mr Nixon said they need to “dangle our top asks” over some of the newest MPs who entered Parliament in 2019 through Boris Johnson’s general election victory.

Nixon suggested, for example, “James wants his Learning Disability Hub in Bury – whips call him up and say Health team want to work with him to deliver this but that’ll be off the table if he rebels”.

“These guys’ re-election hinges on us in a lot of instances, and we know what they want. We should seriously consider using it IMO,” he wrote. Matt Hancock’s response was “yes 100%”.

Few people emerge well from this trove of Hancock's WhatsApp messages and his former SpAd @AllanNixon is emphatically not one of them https://t.co/3o7Z0o85cZ

Using a Learning Disability Hub as a bribe in a political game of ‘Rebel & you’ll lose it’ just shows the utter contempt this gov has for its people. Surely these are criminal acts. #LD #ToryCorruption https://t.co/G1UJ0WC7K9

This might cheer you up…sort of.

We made a little weekend song 🎶 about the #lockdownfiles. We'd like to dedicate it to @IsabelOakeshott & @MattHancock.

Sorry for chorus skips but didn't quite get it down to 2m20s & couldn't be arsed to re-record it. Annoying to only have partial material, isn't it?! 🤔 pic.twitter.com/pX449RYy2U
