Hancock resigns

[Buttonupbitches]

Good, why has it taken this long.

Sajid Javid has got the job.

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

He doesn't want anyone who might look more competent than him. Although given the choice I'd rather have Sajid Javid than Boris Johnson

Thing is... why did Boris say 'as far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed'

Makes him look like the right pillock he is.

Hours later he accepts a resignation.

Next move, get Boris out, roll on a GE

I thought Javid walked out because he wasn't prepared to kow tow to Cummings? If so, it shows the man at least had a small grain of sense.

Javid getting the job just smells to me like BJ pretending he really has fallen out with Cummings

It was a staged deal. Hancock was always the “fall guy” (by his consent as well)

'The Good Law Project are reporting he's under investigation for using his personal email address for government business.:

He definitely does this! I've seen it at work It's something like [email protected]

That might even be it!

Good. The corrupt fucker should've been sacked ages ago. His replacement will be somebody who will tell us the NHS is safe while simultaneously giving contracts to Tory party donors, and the corruption will get worse.

He wasn’t sacked @Badbadbunny

According to twitter he has left his wife already.

Wonder if Gina will leave her husband too?

She was seen leaving her home, but I’d doubt they’d shack up together straight away. That’s if they do. I’d be shocked if she led her husband at all actually. But he clearly wasn’t happy in his marriage for whatever reason.

MaMelon she has quit her government role.

What a horrible resignation letter: apologising to every single person in the country, specifying his children but pointedly excluding his wife.

I do hope the 'needing to be with' his children bit means his wife has refused to explain anything to them and told him to get on with it himself.

I fervently hope she is booked into a luxury spa hotel under a different name wearing a blond wig and accompanied by a couple of tried and tested friends.

No doubt there will be a book after the pandemic.

I don't know enough about Sajid Javid to know if this is a good thing.

No, I imagine she’ll let the dust settle first before moving in with him - if indeed she does. Wouldn’t be surprised if she decides he’s really not that attractive after all now the affair is in the open and the fallout has begun.

MaMelon the husband was pictured hanging about on the pavement looking serious and helping his wife pack the car.

What a stupid mess.

Check out Dominic Cummings' latest tweet about it...

Apparently Matt Hancock told his wife on Thursday night after being tipped off the Sun were going to publish.

He’ll be back in two/three years as Business Secretary or whatever. Being sacked for rule pbreaking / lying is pretty much a qualification these days.

I have racked my brains and just don’t get it.

In a privileged position and career. Has family and very comfortable lifestyle. Knows that as a minister he is a walking target in terms of needing to keep squeaky clean. Aware of the consequences of not being squeaky clean and has seen colleagues fall.

Fucks it up.

What’s he saying?! I don’t have Twitter and I’m not sure how to search for them.

Why do MP's always drag out the inevitable resignation, putting their families through it in the meantime. Prat!
