Matt Hancock is latest in government to heap praise on area’s Labour leaders
When Matt Hancock used an interview with Radio 4’s Today programme to heap praise on the Labour leaders of Liverpool on Monday, it could be viewed in one of two ways.
Either it was an all too rare example of non-partisan politics, a health minister mature enough to recognise good governance in what is arguably the least Tory-friendly region in the UK. Or it was just the latest example of top-level trolling from Boris Johnson’s administration, some of whom seem to go so far out of their way to laud the Scousers that some observers have questioned if there’s a bet running.
