One such story came from a student nurse who had to comfort dying strangers in a hospital but was unable to hold her father’s hand as he died from Covid.
Another person shared the tragic final conversation they had with their mother before she was placed on a ventilator and died.
Paul Quinn shared a screenshot on Twitter of his tragic last text to his dying mother, who was working in a care home during the pandemic, saying: “My ‘leaked’ messages from 2020.
My Mam worked in a care home all through the pandemic, the same day I sent her that last message she was put on a ventilator and died on 18th December �� #whatsapp #matthanock #leaked’.”
These stories have surfaced at the same time as Mr Hancock was accused of discussing withholding funding for a learning disability centre to pressure an MP not to rebel against coronavirus restrictions.
The leaked WhatsApp messages suggested that Mr Hancock and an aide spoke about warning Bury North MP James Daly that a new centre for disabled children and adults would be ‘off the table’ if he voted against the Government.
Senior Conservative Jake Berry described the disclosure as an ‘absolute disgrace’ and called for Mr Hancock to be hauled before the Commons for questioning.
Mr Hancock’s team has denied the accusations and called them a ‘biased, partial approach to the evidence.’ They also said that the public inquiry would be the right place to consider everything about the pandemic objectively.
