Niall Horan has accused Health Secretary Matt Hancock of being "smug and slippery" despite having committed a "major howler" in his response to coronavirus.
Niall Horan accuses Health Secretary of ‘major howler’ over coronavirus response
The singer posted his stinging criticism of Matt Hancock to his 39 million Twitter followers.
He said: "I get the idea that Health Secretary Matt Hancock thinks he's a lot more intelligent than he actually is.
"Always very smug and slippery.
"Excuse me but Matt you've had a major howler here and it's about time you handed facts out instead of worrying about what the opposition thinks."
Last month, Horan, 26, performed in the One World: Together At Home virtual concert, which celebrated frontline workers fighting the coronavirus crisis and raised money for the UN Foundation's Covid-19 Response Fund.
He has also made a 100,000 euro (GBP 88,478) donation to Alone, which is an Irish charity helping older people through the pandemic.
