Boris Johnson described Health Secretary Matt Hancock as “hopeless” early in the coronavirus pandemic, according to a message published by former aide Dominic Cummings.

Mr Cummings, who has blamed Mr Hancock for failings during the Covid response, published a screenshot apparently showing a WhatsApp exchange between himself and the Prime Minister.

On March 3 last year, the controversial former aide highlighted the US’s ramping up of testing capacity and criticised Mr Hancock for saying he was “sceptical” about meeting a target.

The Prime Minister purportedly responded: “Totally f****** hopeless.”

Mr Cummings, who left Downing Street in November during a bitter power struggle in No 10, has targeted much of his criticism since leaving at the Health Secretary.

In a blog post exceeding 7,000 words, Mr Cummings also published another private message about the struggles to procure ventilators for Covid-19 patients.

“It’s Hancock. He has been hopeless,” a contact appearing to be Mr Johnson replied on March 27 last year.

In another message, on April 27 last year, the Prime Minister appeared to call the situation around personal protective equipment (PPE) “a disaster” and alluded to diverting some responsibilities to Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove.

“I can’t think of anything except taking Hancock off and putting Gove on,” Mr Johnson apparently added.


The messages are Mr Cummings’ first attempt to publish supporting evidence since his select committee appearance where he accused the Health Secretary of lying, failing on care homes and “criminal, disgraceful behaviour” on testing.

Mr Hancock has denied the Brexit campaigner’s allegations and said last week it was “telling” that he was yet to provide the joint Health and Social Care Committee and Science and Technology Committee with written evidence.

Mr Cummings said the initial post shows that “No10/Hancock have repeatedly lied about the failures last year” and accused them of now trying to “rewrite history”.

The former aide published the details on Substack, a platform that allows people to charge for newsletters. He has said he plans to charge subscribers for insider information on subjects other than the pandemic.

 

I think we knew that

 

Maybe you did, but I'm just putting it 'out there' for the benefit of the scumbag 'nasty party' members/accolytes/supporters !!!

 

This time though he has backed it up with evidence ie the actual texts .

 

What a nasty vindictic, trun coat peice of work Cummings has turned out to be. As far as I am concerned, anyone that works in downing street should keep what happens in there to themselves. I dont care if thats a Tory or labour government. That should have a certain amount of privacy.

 

Absolutely NOT !!! We, (the public) have a RIGHT to know what is being done and what is being said in 'our' name !!! All Cummings has done is blow the gaff on the ignorant, arrogant, incompetent bastards we have in government !!!

 

Ha ha. I read though some of your other posts so your response is predictable and we would never politically agree!

 

Yes well I might have known, a typical scumbag 'nasty party' member/accolyte/supporter !!!

 

It's funny. I can have nice light hearted chats over politics. I appreciate some lean to the left and others to the right. Me, I am more centre with a tenancy slightly to the right.

But you lefties have to feel everyone who doesn't agree with your ideas is a scumbag.

Anyway. Last message I will post on this. I joined this forum to have some fun chat and to be able to talk about stuff I wouldn't normally. I am not here to get wound up by the loony left.
