Health Secretary Matt Hancock has admitted to breaking social orientation guidelines after posting photos of him kissing an assistant in a newspaper. With Gina Coladangelo, whom she named, she said she left “people down” after the photos appeared, and was “very sorry.” Labor called on the Prime Minister to remove Mr Hancock from office, saying his stance was “unsustainable”. Downing Street said Boris Johnson accepted Mr. Hancock’s pardon and that “the matter is closed.” Asked if the prime minister has “absolute confidence” in Mr Hancock, the prime minister’s spokesman replied: “Yes.” The Sun reported that photos of Mr. Hancock and Mr. Coladangelo, both married to their children, were taken on May 6 at the Department of Health. #BBCNews #Newsnight #Coronavirus Newsnight is the BBC’s premier news and current affairs television program – with strong analysis, discussion, exclusivity and dialogue.
