Matt Hancock says he 'doesn't think' he's hopeless

Matt Hancock has said he doesn’t think he is hopeless after a WhatsApp message leaked by former Downing Street aideDominic Cummings suggested that Prime MinisterBoris Johnson described the health secretary as “totally f*****g hopeless” early in the coronavirus pandemic.

In the short clip, captured by Sky News, the health secretary is seen driving past reporters in a black Range Rover on his way to the Commons when one journalist shouts: “Are you hopeless Mr Hancock?”

“I don’t think so,” replies Mr Hancock,  who is wearing a Union Jack face mask.
