Matt Hancock defends his truthfulness

During the COVID inquiry, Matt Hancock defended himself against accusations of dishonesty, stating that he did not lie and offered to debunk any specific instances. He described himself as Tiggerish in his role as health secretary and claimed that the Department of Health was ahead of the rest of the government in recognizing the scale of the pandemic. However, critics argue that Hancock's assertions lack evidence and that he failed in his duty to read minutes from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) meetings.
