Okay, I did not think that Jeremy Corbyn was the best Labour leader. He, the party and the nation were let down by too many who supported him but did not listen to his call for Kinder Gentler Politics.
One of the many good things that he did was to use human examples when it came to Prime Minister’s Questions. Today, Keir Starmer asked questions about Matt Hancock. Basically I follow social distancing at work and I have to complete declarations of interest forms. I have not worked on an issue with Carpal Tunnel treatment services as a colleague in my other job provides them, unlike Gina Coladangelo, hired to a post paid by the tax payer where he had to scrutinise him.
The Prime Minister refused to answer them, even the one about Ollie Bibby. Working in healthcare, I understand why the hospital followed the rules it did. But the family and hospital obeyed them. Matt Hancock did not, and initially, this was deemed resolved by the Prime Minister who later took credit for the resignation of the man he said did not need to.
We will find out if the mantra of answering difficult questions by talking about the vaccine roll out works in the Batley and Spen by-election tomorrow.
