Former health secretary Matt Hancock has confirmed he will publish Covid diaries giving his “unique perspective” of the coronavirus pandemic. He is promising a “unique and candid account of Britain’s battle to turn the tide”.
Mr Hancock will “reveal the crucial moments of the struggle to save lives” despite more than 170,000 deaths, publishers Biteback said. The diaries will be published later this year and Mr Hancock’s royalties will be donated to NHS charities, reports the Mirror.
The West Suffolk MP, who stepped down after breaking social distancing rules in a steamy clinch with an aide on CCTV, will offer “an honest assessment of the lessons we need to learn for next time – because there will be a next time,” a press release said.
