What the petition asks
Matt Hancock the current Minister for Health need to be removed from his post for lying to the public on numerous occasions.
23rd of January Mr Hancock stood in the house on commons and told us all that there was sufficient supply of PPE, the UK was ready and was properly prepared.
Given what we have in front of us today it’s clear he has clearly been lying in parliament. We do not have sufficient PPE for our health professional thus putting their lives at risk. Only a few days back he continued to suggest at the 5pm briefing that there was sufficient equipment available.
