Matt Hancock has described the release of tens of thousands of his WhatsApp messages as a "massive betrayal".
The under-fire former Health Secretary apologised for the impact of the leak on his political colleagues, aides and friends - and said there was no public interest for the huge data breach.
More than 100,000 WhatsApps were leaked to the Telegraph by political journalist Isabel Oakeshott, who helped the ex-Health Secretary write his pandemic memoir.
