Yes, but seen as they have brought back that other twerp that did the same, plus the Dominic fiasco, I don't suppose there is anything they can do about it.
A nice example of the moral quality of the people at the top just now.
The reference to no rules being broken seems to be about her appointment, not social distancing rules (let alone marriage rules).
A government spokesman said the appointment had happened "in the usual way" and no rules had been broken. ... A friend of the health secretary told the BBC he had "no comment on personal matters", adding: "No rules have been broken." And a Department of Health spokesman said: "This appointment was made in the usual way and followed correct procedure."
In May last year, epidemiologist Professor Neil Ferguson resigned from the government's scientific advisory group (SAGE) after it emerged he had broken lockdown rules when a woman he was reportedly in a relationship with visited his home. Mr Hancock called Prof Ferguson's actions "extraordinary", adding that social distancing rules were "there for everyone" and were "deadly serious".

Maybe they are living together, and the Sun somehow hasn't got wind of that. But if they are, I don't think that's fine. They're still married.

Shock horror! Even those who set the silly, pointless unenforceable law didn't stick to it...
Hancock cheats on wife! The only surprise will be if his ratings don't go up as a result...
If you PHYSICALLY prevent me from seeing my new granddaughter, stop me attending my son's wedding, and make me sit on my own to bury a dear friend, the very least you can do is keep your tongue out of your assistant's throat.

Quite. The State has no business passing laws that create these situations. The only possible justification it could have for doing so is if we are all threatened by a deadly virus; a virus with a 0-1% death rate comes nowhere near such justification.
And of course I am making the same mistake as the majority in how I am framing this: assumption that the restrictions save lives, when there is no evidence that this is the case.
