Good morning. It is quite a feat, after the leak of more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent to and from Matt Hancock during the coronavirus crisis, that he faces serious competition for top billing as the story’s most controversial figure.
At moments over the last couple of days, Hancock – a man who the public made do six consecutive bushtucker trials on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!, including one called “tentacles of terror” – has even appeared relatively sympathetic. His nemesis, and the reason for all this: Isabel Oakeshott. Luckily, there is no requirement for you to pick a side.
