This 2018 interview with Matt Hancock shows what he really thinks of Boris Johnson
A 2018 interview has resurfaced in which Matt Hancock was asked his opinion of the then Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson. His answer is very revealing.
They say a week is a long time in politics. Look at the difference a year and a half can make 🤔🙄.@campbellclaret remember when Cabinet Ministers used to tell us, what they really thought about Boris's style of leadership?#DominicCummngs pic.twitter.com/UyWojZhyfo

Mr. Hancock has a very expressive face – perhaps too expressive under the circumstances. You can watch the full thing here if that’s your sort of thing.
These tweeters didn’t need to waggle their eyebrows – their words were enough.

Hancock’s eyebrows on Boris Johnson as Home Secretary.
You have Bojo from the right kind of stock, but considered a dishonest chancer of a mophead muppet, kept around because he polls well sometimes, with someone increasingly powerful, but unelected, pulling the strings https://t.co/73SSf4magj

A 30-second clip that says so much about our politicians today. When they're honest, it can come back to haunt them in many different ways… https://t.co/RdZx9CBKb6

It doesn’t take Matt Hancock to give a bad impression of Boris Johnson – here he is doing that for himself in an interview with the incomparable Eddie Mair.

On a lighter note, Iván Merker was less interested in Matt Hancock’s candour than Alastair Campbell’s lens hygiene.
Everyone else: wow Matt Hancock was really discussing BJ like that
Me: wow Alastair Campbell really doesn’t mind having fingerprints over his glasses https://t.co/CfQYqN3Wvx— Iván Merker (@merkerivan) May 27, 2020
He’ll have to drive to Barnard Castle to check he can see through them.
