"The UK has seen yet another political scandal claim the career of a Cabinet Member, as the Health Minister succumbed to evidence that he flouted social distancing measures while having an affair with a senior advisor.

It is ironic that of all the slurs aimed at Hancock by former Prime Ministerial advisor Dominic Cummings, that disregarding social distancing should finally strike home.

Hancock’s replacement would have been most people's choice. A seasoned Minister, Sajid Javid has held two senior Cabinet posts, and was ready to return to the fold.

It is unlikely that Javid will bring any new innovations to the role. He is committed to ending the Pandemic safely as soon as possible.
