to pull a Hancock

To achieve vastly beyond one's abilities; seemingly without logical explanation.

Named after Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the UK, who has managed to achieve high office without any discernible talent, an alleged long-term affair with someone way out of his league, and an ally in the Prime Minister despite being woefully unprepared for a pandemic that led to a tragically high mortality rate.
"There's no chance I won't be arrested after committing all of these crimes. To get out of this, I need to pull a Hancock."

"I just got promoted three times in one day despite sexually harassing a colleague. I must have pulled a Hancock."

"The Government knighted me even though I'm being investigated for fraud. Is it because I'm a Tory donor or did I just pull a Hancock?"
