Not a great start!
@piersmorgan asks @MattHancock three times whether he supported the 221 day boycott of @GMB
Hancock fails you answer three times

Unbelievable!
Matt Hancock claims TWICE that the govt had no idea about asymptotic transmission of #COVID19 when the virus hit the UK.
This is NOT TRUE
The govt keep repeating this claim
Journalists keep failing to challenge them on it. @piersmorgan @susannareid100 @GMB

Why does Matt Hancock always wearthe same pink tie?
As someone closely documenting what has happened with the UK’s #COVID19 response, I think I’ve worked it out...

SAGE member & head of the Wellcome Trust, @JeremyFarrar, says asymptomatic spread was known about in mid-January
On 28 January, the govt published a paper on it
On 26 Feb, @Dr_PhilippaW asked Hancock about it in the Commons
It was highlighted by journals & newspapers since Jan

As someone who has media trained people for decades, my advice is:
1) Answer the question
2) Never lie
These ministers have had different training
It is a deliberate & well-rehearsed strategy
If asked about govt failings, ministers either avoid, go on the offensive or “fib”.

A request to journalists & politicians
When a minister tries to claim that no one know about asymptomatic #COVID19 transmission, please stop them & point out that this is not true
#AsymtomaticTransmission was known about - including by SAGE - in January!

“My advice: take #COVID19 seriously” Prof @devisridhar
warned on 16 January
@MattHancock claims he told @BorisJohnson right at the start of the year
They knew about asymptomatic transmission in January
Why didn't they act to protect us for 3 months?
