Downing Street sources have confirmed that in a recent visit to a restaurant, Hancock claimed he was "too busy saving lives" to leave a gratuity with his bill. This follows the same excuse being given when asked about Cummings' accusations regarding Hancock's incompetence.
Recently readers may remember that Hancock had been granting government contracts to a company he had a financial stake in, though we have now been told that he was too busy saving lives to check if his actions were in fact feathering his own nest.
A spokesman also confirmed that at the start of the pandemic when thousands of people died needlessly, the Health Secretary was too busy saving lives to save their lives.
