"Hancock Cock Inn Cockup”
Ystdy, @MattHancock tried to get @AnnelieseDodds to withdraw a comment re his helping the ex-landlord of his local pub, the Cock Inn, to get a PPE contract
We’ve see the emails
Hancock & Lord Feldman helped 47 firms win 'VIP' contracts worth millions
Ystdy, @MattHancock went on the attack claiming Alex Bourne "never got a contract from the govt" & this was a "fabrication pushed by the Labour Party"
He was lying
@NAOorguk found PPE suppliers with links to Tory MPs were 10x more likely to win contracts
Digging by @JolyonMaugham reveals the contract went to Alpha Laboratories
That contract stipulates that Alpha Laboratories will sub-contract the manufacturing to Hinpack Ltd, owned by Alex Bourne
This info was redacted before publishing in what seems a clear attempt to deceive!
Last December, @MattHancock’s neighbour admitted exchanging personal WhatsApp messages with #Hancock offering his services to produce PPE
Hancock says he “had absolutely nothing to do with that contract”
It’s been clear for a year, someone has been lying
“What an absolute load of rubbish... Did anyone else’s friends get contracts?”
@JessPhillips rips @MattHancock a new one over the #ContractScandal & handling of PPE contracts during the pandemic. #HerdImmunityScandal @Peston #COVID19 #Peston
At the height of the pandemic, @MattHancock came to my local outdoor cafe
He was laughing with a friend
I muttered something to the guys next to me
“True. But I guess he’s on a day off”
Overhearing, Hancock piped up: “Yes! I’m on a day off”
“Day off from lying, Matt?” I spat
“I told him right at the start”
@MattHancock says he warned @BorisJohnson about #COVID19 at the beginning of January 2020
He says he remembers thinking: “Nobody’s asking about the single biggest issue that's about to come & hit us”
He certainly wasn’t
“We put a call out to our local pub landlords on see if they fancied diversifying into supplying PPE in return for multi-million pound contracts.” @MattHancock on @Peston
#ContractScandal #PalantirPlan #HerdImmunityScandal #GenomeUK
In September 2020, @MattHancock launched #GenomeUK, a 10-year strategy that will transform the NHS & put genomics at the heart of the entire programme for govt
Bizarrely it was launched on a Saturday with zero media coverage
Is this what the #PalantirPlan is really all about?
“The flagrancy is part of the point.”
(Orwell)
#Lockdown parties in No.10
@Dominic2306 in #BarnardCastle
#Palantir, who rptdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica how to scrape data, running NHS data store
#GemomeUK putting genomics at the heart of everything
