A letter from a friend to @MattHancock
Dear Mr Hancock
I am a 61 yr old retired NHS GP who has now has chosen to live in France. I am sending a copy of this email to my own MP.
During the summer leadership campaign you used the memory of D-Day soldiers

My late father was not involved directly with the D-Day landings. I will tell you why.
