And yes:

'Not sure what Hancock was thinking getting the notoriously untrustworthy mistress of a rival party leader opposed to lockdowns to ghost write his pandemic diaries for free?'

That's the one thing that shocked me: I already knew he was a disastrously stupid Health Secretary, but honestly, this deserves a prize for idiocy!

Of course, the words 'Hancock' and 'thinking' don't really belong in the same sentence.
