Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Asked by reporters whether Hancock’s relationship with the Department of Health board member Gina Coladangelo had undermined public health messaging, Johnson said: ‘That’s right, and that’s why when I saw the story on Friday, we had a new secretary of state for health in on Saturday.’ He was speaking on a visit to Batley and Spen, the West Yorkshire constituency where a byelection will be held on Thursday.
