Matt Hancock today told Britons to grass up their neighbours if they break tough new coronavirus laws that could see them fined £10,000 - and admitted he would do it himself. The Health Secretary said people should 'absolutely' tell police if they see rule breakers as he warned he could not rule out a second national lockdown if rules continued to be flouted (centre). But the Government appears to be at sixes and seven over whether Britain should become a nation of narks with contradictory views around the Cabinet. The Prime Minister said last week that he did not like 'sneak culture' and urged people to inform on neighbours only as a last resort, 'if there is some huge kind of Animal House party taking place’. However Home Secretary Priti Patel had earlier backed people informing on their neighbours if they were breaking the new rules, adding: 'It's not dobbing in neighbours, it's all about us taking personal responsibility.' Mr Hancock spoke today as ministers unveiled plans to fine Covid sufferers up to £10,000 if they leave their house when they are meant to be self-isolating under draconian new rules being brought in to tackle a sharp up-spike in cases across the UK (right). Asked this morning on the BBC's Andrew Marr show (left) if he would inform on his neighbours, Mr Hancock said he would, adding: 'I'm not in this for a popularity contest. I'm in this to keep the country safe.'
