Matt Hancock has dubbed the leaking of tens of thousands of personal WhatsApp messages a 'massive betrayal' as he faces fire and widespread scrutiny.
The Tory ex-Health Secretary apologised for the impact caused on political colleagues, aides and friends by the published messages - claiming that there is no public interest for the substantial data breach.
Over 100,000 messages from the platform were leaked to the Telegraph by Isabel Oakeshott - who assisted in the writing of Matt's flopping pandemic memoirs.
