Whatever ones personal judgement on the morality of his actions, (and one needs to know the full facts on these before judging) thats hardly the big issue here. And frankly the Daily Mail making any form of moral criticism is rank hypocrisy in any case!

Not sure why you would put his personal morality and behaviour as a bigger story than his hypocrisy and failing to set an example over not observing social distancing rules, which he implemented and at the same time he was telling citizens on TV that they should not be hugging loved ones and single people should not be starting relationships?

What an individual citizen may choose to do so is not an issue, when a member of the government does exactly the opposite of the advice and law in place then clearly it's a serious matter, do as I say and not as I do is never a good look for someone in authority.

Add to that the rank hypocrisy when he stated that prof Ferguson a member of SAGE had no choice but to resign due to having his a tryst with his lover last March during lockdown and stating the Police should investigate and its a big deal.

Add to that the fact that he appears to have helped his mistress get a paid appointment onto the health board which scrutinises the department he heads up and things look even murkier.
I’d put his personal morality over any ‘story’ because I clearly have higher morals than you but I agree that the last two paragraphs are the icing on a cake of his own making, or rather the relish in the **** sandwich.
