Today's interview with Robert Jenrick and the one Matt Hancock did on GMB prove that all the Tory MPs have been given one simple instruction:
Under no circumstances admit to doing the wrong thing, or any responsibility for the consequences of that wrongdoing.
Under no circumstances admit to doing the wrong thing, or any responsibility for the consequences of that wrongdoing.

Matt Hancock would have looked better if he had simply told @susannareid100 & @piersmorgan that he regretted not getting the kids their meals sooners.
Matt Hancock would have looked better if he had simply told @susannareid100 & @piersmorgan that he regretted not getting the kids their meals sooners.
And Robert Jenrick would have looked better if he'd said something along the lines of "I believe we were too hopeful about how things would go, and too worried about damaging the economy our citizens have to live in."
And yet, they both rigidly stuck to the party line of "we did the right thing at the right time, but isn't it great that we're doing the exact opposite now".
You don't make yourself look that inhuman on national TV unless you've been told your job depends on it.
