The only 5 killer responses you need to Matt Hancock’s disastrous hustings
Things have been difficult for the Conservatives on the general election campaign trail recently, as their attempts to film nice safe meet-and-greets with compliant factory workers, nurses and members of the public have been met with tough questions and loud booing.
When Matt Hancock attended a hustings in his constituency of West Suffolk, his speech on Tory plans was met with jeers, before loud booing and accusations of lying greeted his reference to Labour antisemitism.

Graham Lithgow was moved by the video to retract a previous insult.
Earlier this campaign I compared odious pipsqueak Matt Hancock to Alan Partridge but, on reflection, that wasn't really fair.
After all, Partridge never lost an audience this badly. Even that time he shot one of his guests.pic.twitter.com/Da3VfK71jK
