'My dad should still be here, the government have blood on their hands'

The son of a Liverpool man who died in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic slammed Matt Hancock's appearance at the Covid-19 inquiry, stating that the former Health Secretary and the rest of the government 'have blood on their hands.'

Jamie Mawson's dad, Richard Mawson, died at the age of 70 in April 2020. He developed Covid-19 shortly after attending Liverpool FC's controversial match with Atletico Madrid at Anfield on March 11.

Many believe the match should not have gone ahead and that the UK was too slow to stop major events and lock down as covid cases surged in the country.
