    ExtraCast! – Matt Hancock bullsh*ts the Covid Inquiry

    ExtraCast! – Matt Hancock bullsh*ts the Covid Inquiry
    Matt Hancock has been giving evidence to the Covid-19 Inquiry and frankly he’s not done himself any good. Alex Andreou has been locked in to the sessions on Thursday and Friday. He joins Andrew Harrison to unpack what the former Health Secretary said – and just how badly he came across.  • “His appearance was always going to be very defensive.” – Alex Andreou • “He was doing the same bullshitting that he was being accused of.” – Alex Andreou • “Someone of his limited ability should never have been in that position.” – Alex Andreou We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Group Editor Andrew Harrison with Alex Andreou.

    Matt Hancock vs The Grim Reaper

    Matt Hancock vs The Grim Reaper

    Matt Hancock fails to win over bereaved families at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, as they turn their backs on him while another confronts him dressed as the grim reaper. Nish and Coco get to grips with ‘greedflation’ as MPs question supermarket bosses about their huge salaries. Plus Coco questions why Labour has an all-white all-male line up of candidates for the upcoming by-elections. And Nish is disheartened by a report that finds cricket is racist, sexist and elitist - the “full fruit machine” of prejudice!

    We continue ‘Chat Shit Get Banged’, our campaign to stop politicians lying, with the help of John Humphrys, former presenter of Radio 4’s Today programme. The man once labelled the BBC’s ‘Rottweiler in chief’ reflects on his 33 years holding politicians to account, including memorable encounters with Boris Johnson and Margaret Thatcher.

    Also, tales from Glastonbury, and Prigozhin v Putin - how did a hotdog seller build up his own private army? Plus Coco gets a surprise Patreon request.

    E121: Matt Hancock: Opens Up About His Affair, Mistakes & The Pandemic

    E121: Matt Hancock: Opens Up About His Affair, Mistakes & The Pandemic
    Matthew Hancock is the MP for West Suffolk, the former Secretary of State for Health, and was responsible for leading the country through the COVID-19 pandemic until his time as Health Secretary was brought controversially to an end in summer 2021. For the first time, Matt speaks candidly on what it was like to lead a country through a once-in-a-century pandemic, and the circumstances surrounding his resignation. When I started this podcast, I wanted to bring you conversations that allow us to see behind the scenes, to give the context and this conversation is no different. You do not have to agree with Matt but I think after this episode today we will have the answers we’ve all been waiting for. This is not your typical political interview. This is a conversation that definitely needed to happen. Topics: Why did you want to have this conversation here? Your early years Diversity in politics Why did you get into politics and why would you want to? How can you be the minister for all these different areas? You running for Prime Minister When covid hit What was your life like at that time? If you’d known a pandemic would roll in would you have taken the health secretary job? The care home mistake Isn’t our high number of deaths an indicator that wrong decisions were made? The first vaccine - showing your emotions The CCTV footage The parties at number 10 Dominic Cummings Your Dyslexia campaign Do you feel like you’ve addressed what you wanted to from this conversation? The last guest question   Watch the episodes on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDiaryOfACEO/videos Sponsors: Huel - https://my.huel.com/Steven Craftd - https://bit.ly/3JKOPFx Myenergi - https://bit.ly/3oeWGnl Learn more about your ad choices.
