It makes for very uncomfortable reading for the Government and it's 'VIP' pals.

Something really is wrong with the @DHSCgovuk record on Ministerial transparency!

A short thread:
The former Health Secretary held a meeting on 17 March 2020 with a testing company Thriva.

However there is no sign of this meeting in the @DHSCgovuk transparency data.

Thriva went on to secure £185m in covid testing contracts.
The @DHSCgovuk published ministerial meeting data covering this period suggests Matt Hancock didn't have any external meetings from the 03 Feb 2020 to 18 March 2020.

Seem's strange. This was an important 6 weeks leading up to the first national lockdown!
