Matt Hancock has been urged not to "rewrite history" when he's hauled before the Covid Inquiry this week.
The former Health Secretary, who lost his job after breaching his own rules by snogging his aide, will be grilled by the Inquiry on Tuesday on how prepared the NHS was for the pandemic.
Austerity chiefs David Cameron and George Osborne both gave evidence last week, where they denied that swingeing public sector cuts left the NHS weakened in the face of the virus.
