Good, why has it taken this long.

Good riddance.

Nat6999 · 26/06/2021 18:26

One down, how many more to go?

bert3400 · 26/06/2021 18:26

Cause he thought it would blow over, like all thier other misdemeanors ....he a wanker and glad he's gone but what other Tory scumbag will replace him ?

0None0 · 26/06/2021 18:27

Great news

doubleshotespresso · 26/06/2021 18:27

They all need to go. He ought to have been sacked.
Disgraceful

Nicolastuffedone · 26/06/2021 18:27

Hope Martha kicks him out as well!!!

SleepingStandingUp · 26/06/2021 18:27

Well that'll distract the papers for a few more days...

paniniswapx3 · 26/06/2021 18:27

I'm glad he's gone but also worry about who will replace him! There isn't exactly a strong bunch of decent contenders for the role!

Frandad · 26/06/2021 18:28

Finally some good news today. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Matt, you absolute wankbadger.

2tired2bewitty · 26/06/2021 18:28

Fancy making it almost all the way through a global pandemic and throwing it all away on a teenage fumble in a corridor. Idiot.

If Johnson had any sense he'd appoint Jeremy Hunt (not that I like him obviously)

But Johnson has NO sense...

Buttonupbitches · 26/06/2021 18:29

Somehow I feel he’s got off almost lightly. A sacking would have been more fitting.

Dreadful news. Resigned because he couldn't keep his cock in his trousers, not because he is responsible for 1000's deaths.

DareIask · 26/06/2021 18:31

I'm no fan but let's face it, if everyone who had broken a rule or had a bit on the side was sacked there wouldn't be many left working.

I don't like the way he was spied on and exposed either. That wouldn't be tolerated in the wider working world.

What an idiot though

EmmaGrundyForPM · 26/06/2021 18:31

Good! But it's wrong that he resigned over an affair rather than be sacked for how he's handled the pandemic

I agree. Someone with some experience in the role would be useful in current circumstances. Hunt has been good at really quizzing what’s been going on in some of those parliamentary committee meetings….sadly I think doing so will have made him unpopular with Boris and co and I believe Boris already hated him. Am worried Gove will be appointed.
ChocolateRiver · 26/06/2021 18:33

Goo riddance! Get the feeling he probably didn’t have a choice though. Wish he’d been sacked too.

YouthfulIndiscretion · 26/06/2021 18:33

I love the fact that he’s leaving the job as he performed it, with an unproofread resignation letter.

Interesting to see that he mentions the kids but not the wife.

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 26/06/2021 18:33

Are there any likely candidates to replace, in addition to Gove?

Orf1abc · 26/06/2021 18:33

It's what they've done to the country for the past year. They don't like it when the tables are turned (ironically, most likely by one of his party).

AbsolutelyPatsy · 26/06/2021 18:33

jumped

JayAlfredPrufrock · 26/06/2021 18:34

Can’t believe he waited so long.

BetterthanIthink · 26/06/2021 18:35

I wonder what else was to come out about it ? Maybe more in the Sunday papers tomorrow perhaps ?

Regulus · 26/06/2021 18:36

When the public want Hunt we know we are fucked
