The vaccine rollout isn’t the only thing looking up for Matt Hancock. In the latest episode of Channel 4’s Googlebox, the Home Secretary’s latest Marr appearance went down a storm with viewers, as he cockily batted away questioning over the timing of India being added to the red list. He’s already 33/1 for next PM – might his odds improve in light of this showing?

Never mind the polls, last night’s Gogglebox focus group said it all about the damage done by the social care fiasco:

“I think she’s sh*tting a brick now because she called this election thinking she’s a 100% certainty, and they’ve not costed the [manifesto]… They made all the promises not realising people aren’t as stupid as they think and won’t believe everything they say.”

“It is half-baked.”

“You’ve changed it already because you’ve been caught out, Theresa!”

“‘Nothing’s changed’? They’ve done a u-turn and ‘nothing’s changed’?!”

“Really just goes to show that they can say any old sh*te and they don’t have to come good on the deal.”

“You said you weren’t gonna cap, and now you’ve capped. Explain.”

“I like that he’s not letting her get away with not answering.”

“What she should do is she should admit, and say, yes it wasn’t structured properly, we are tweaking it.”

“Do you know if I was Andrew Neil I’d be tempted to overpower her and say, just admit it!”

Sounds like they’d vote for Brillo…

Painful viewing for fans of Owen Smith – their man has crashed and burned with the crucial Gogglebox focus group. None of the families on Channel 4’s hit show had heard of him, and several gave him a kicking over his attempts to block Brexit. 42 year-old hairdresser Stephen Webb’s verdict was: “now you can see what a f**king mess we’re in”. 52 year-old Brighton mother Carolyne Michael reckons: “the man’s a lunatic”. Watch this, Labour moderates, and weep…
