This fabulous takedown of Matt Hancock is today’s most deliciously satisfying thing
Leading contender for comeback of the week is surely this, as recorded by Times diarist Patrick Kidd.
It’s Matt Hancock doing his bit for levelling up by giving a speech to pupils at Eton – stick with us, it’s worth it – and a barb at the expense of his former colleague, Jacob Rees-Mogg.

And just in case that’s tricky to read in full.
Never thought we’d be cheering a Rees-Mogg, but there’s a first for everything.
Christ, imagine getting bantered to oblivion by Mogg Jr

Matt Hancock consistently one of the most pathetic losers in British politics, which requires some effort https://t.co/mb2vj8feWj

Would that be the deflation – or detumescence – of Hancock?
