Matt Hancock has had the whip suspended. I imagine he knew this would happen!

Nadine Dorries was on I'm a Celeb and her career is fine.

If he's really being paid £350k and not standing for re-election at the next election then I can see why he's going for it.

Money 💰

BobbyBobbyBobby · 01/11/2022 17:21

Ego and money.

Babdoc · 01/11/2022 17:21

Meh. Attention seeking idiot narcissist has midlife crisis. Not unexpected given his previous behaviour.

Libre2 · 01/11/2022 17:22

Money though? Really? He's basically just lost his job.

Not a noted thinker. ££££. No further political ambitions. No shame.

I expect that about covers it.

No he hasn't. He's still an MP.

OK, ignore that - I had no idea he was being paid that much - and yes unlikely he'll get in next time round. Maybe he's less stupid than I gave him credit for.

The only trial Mr Hancock should be facing is in a court of law. Corruption in a public office, corporate manslaughter (all the medical staff who died with inadequate PPE), and misconduct in a public office.

The Australian authorities should refuse him entry in any case. They were right in my opinion to deport Novak Djokovic, and he was not part of a government that by its inactions killed at least 20,000 people.

Pressure ought to be put on the sponsors of the show to withdraw.

Is he still with that woman? I guess if she's still working and he's getting a 350k wedge and write a book that's his game plan fo rthe next few years. What a toad though. I hope no one watches.

balalake · 01/11/2022 17:27

@Trustylion I think the woman he left his wife for should be given some courtesy.

Please don't insult toads. They are not as slimy.

PeekAtYou · 01/11/2022 17:29

I feel sorry for his kids. They were old enough to feel the humiliation of his affair and now people will be voting him to do the trials with penises, vermin and insects

I bet his ex wife and her family will be making lots of votes..

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2022 17:34

He wants people.e to see him as a virile, masculine manly man.
He'll have been working out like fury, and he is ready to flex and show us his body. He doesn't want to be a figure of fun any longer.

Honestly, I'm betting it will be the male equivalent of Myleene white bikini in the shower.

He's been suspended.

hes still a MP, just not a tory MP - hes now classed as independant but still has a constituency to service(not that he gives a fuck about that)

TheSpottedZebra · 01/11/2022 17:36

Anyway, he hasn't been suspended. He has had the Tory party whip suspended. But if he hangs around as an MP, he'll get it back.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 01/11/2022 17:37

Good job the people of West Suffolk are all perfectly OK, immune from the current cost of living crisis, totally sorted out in all ways and won't need their MP to help them over the next few weeks, isn't it?

AnyFucker · 01/11/2022 17:37

He is worth 5 million quid so not likely to be doing it for the money. He has apparently been “working on several reality tv” projects recently

hr is trying to relaunch himself as a tv presenter/personality

KurriKawari · 01/11/2022 17:38

He's also signed up for celebrity SAS.

can't figure out if he wants a long term celeb career or wants to use his five mins of fame to make us much money as he can while he can. He has no political career after Rishi blanked him. He's not a great public speaker.

He will get voted for every trial.

BiscuitLover3678 · 01/11/2022 17:39

It shows that’s really and truly all he cares about popularity and power.

And he’s hoping he’ll win over loads of the public and try for pm in the future. What a shitshow. No one cares about the country it seems.

Mrsjayy · 01/11/2022 17:39

Its put me right off watching it I'm assuming he will be a late walk in. I can't bear to look at his weasly face,

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 01/11/2022 17:39

I'd be pissed off if I was one of his constituents - is he currently an MP of an area?

gogohmm · 01/11/2022 17:39

Money, it's why he'll go on any show, appear at any event. He's not announced it but I'm assuming he's not even standing for re-election
