Inspiring event with @Go_ON_UK on tackling digital divide. It's inspired me to buy my grandmother an iPad for her 100th birthday shortly

My Grandmother was 100 this week. We bought her a tablet computer and set her up in email. Now she's sending me selfies. It's awesome

My grandmother worked nights in the NHS for much of her working life. Looking forward to my overnight shift on the wards tonight with some of the most hardworking staff in the country #NHS

A real privilege to visit the Pilgrim hospital in Boston with @MattWarman - where my grandmother worked as a nurse. Great to meet some of the nurses working there today!

Secretary of State Matt Hancock's speech at the Chief Nursing Officer for England's Summit

"..But the real reason I understand what it's like, and what it takes to be an amazing nurse, and where my admiration for nurses comes from, is my grandma, Pem.

My grandmother Pem Hills worked nights at the Pilgrim in Boston until my early childhood.

And I saw first-hand her dedication, her love for the job and her sacrifice. I can see her now, in her uniform, with her funny upside-down watch. 

And even after she retired, she never stopped caring.

She had a deep reservoir of love and kindness to draw on, just when you needed it.

But she was also the most ferociously organised person I ever knew. And I bet she kept those doctors under control..."

'Work was what she lived for': Health Secretary Matt Hancock reveals his grandmother FORGED a birth certificate and passport to take 10 years off her age so she did not have to retire at 60

...Health Secretary Matt Hancock has revealed his grandmother broke the law by faking documents to take ten years off her age so she did not have to retire.

Anne Hancock forged a birth certificate and passport when she hit 60 'because work was what she lived for', the Cabinet Minister said.

She went on to work for another 10 years as the manager of a Co-Op supermarket in Nottingham and later passed away at the age of 103 in 2017, he told the launch of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Longevity.

According to the Express he said: 'She worked all her life. She wanted to keep working and had to lie about her age when she got to 60.

'I can say this now because she is dead. She forged her birth certificate and then she got a forged passport by changing a digit to say she was 10 years younger, because for her work was what she lived for.

'She got to the age of 60 and they told her she had to retire and she didn't want to.

'So she carried on another 10 years, illicitly breaking every rule in the book.'

My grandma was a nurse at Boston Pilgrim Hospital. I grew up knowing from her everything our nurses stand for: incredibly hard-working, compassionate and dedicated to caring

My grandma Pem Hills worked for many years as a nurse at the Pilgrim Hospital at Boston. I'm thrilled to be going back today to announce a new A and E as part of the £1.8bn extra for the NHS

Really moving to go back to Holt near Wrexham, where Grandma lived her last few years with dementia.

I want to galvanise a national moonshot to find a cure.

'Don't kill your gran' warns Matt Hancock as coronavirus cases rise among young people

...Mr. Hancock told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat: "The message to everybody of any age, the risk of spreading it to others - and, especially others who are older, and therefore highly vulnerable to the disease - that risk is real.

"Sticking to the social distancing rules is incredibly important.  

"The question is, how much are you willing to risk the lives of yourself and others by breaking the social distancing rules?

"Don't kill your gran by catching coronavirus and then passing it on..."

Kevin O'Sullivan thinks Matt Hancock's coronavirus warning to not "kill your granny" was "disgusting".

Broadcaster Carol McGiffin: "Nobody's killing their granny by going down the pub".

"Don't kill your Granny".

What about Grandad? Is that ok to do them in?

This month is World Alzheimer's month. My grandma lived with dementia in her last years.

Dementia of all kinds is too common and can affect us all.

I'm determined to do all we can to tackle dementia so we're investing £1.6 billion over the next decade in dementia research

In conclusion, remember folks that British Health Secretary, Matthew 'Little Matty' Hancock was very close to his grandmother and he doesn't want young people to kill their grandmothers (no mention of any grandfathers). 

Furthermore, his own grandmother, who he was remarkably close to, committed long-term fraud, working for the NHS for ten years - as Matt Hancock, himself puts it - "..illicitly breaking every rule in the book". 

And, he tells us that this woman only did it because "..for her work was what she lived for..." 

And, British Health Secretary, Matt Hancock seems to have no problem, at all with this fraud committed by his grandmother. 

Indeed, he knew about it, yet said nothing while she was alive.  

The message of May 2019, delivered in plain sight by Matt Hancock to all of us has been hereby noted : he thinks that the fraud that his grandmother was guilty of was actually justified, because it succeeded in getting her what she wanted. 

In other words: the ends considered beneficial justify the means being criminal.
