In his latest reincarnation, former health secretary Matt Hancock will be an author.

In an interview with GB News yesterday, the politician confirmed he was writing a book about the coronavirus pandemic, and we are sure everyone has rushed to preorder it.

"How to Lose Friends and Alienate the Nation," was another option mooted by Twitter.
