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

He says he's doing it for the dyslexia, which he's passionate about, but maybe he's taking one for his ex team to take the heat off them for a while.

Spose he needs a hook doesn't he so "The dyslexia " it is🙄

Funny how he never really mentioned dyslexia much while he was a minister or even an MP. Wasn't he even Minister of Education at one point!? Surely he could have been highlighting and furthering this cause then if he was so passionate about it.

Exactly.

He thinks we’re all stupid.

I mean health minister Education minister not a peep about Dyslexia

I can't decide whether I hope he gets voted off first, so he can see how much most of the country despise him, or stay longer and get voted to eat some really horrible stuff.

A lot of people are taking part in charity challenges, promoting causes and volunteering. The point is that they all do it BEYOND their working hours, in their spare time. Matt Hancock has got a job and is paid to do it. If he can’t or doesn’t want to do his job and wants to do something else he has to step down.

Absolutely no shame. Secretary for Health during COVID presiding over COVID positive patients being taken back to care homes and he thinks it’s acceptable to appear on a light entertainment show? 😡

As a serving MP it shouldn’t even be allowed. I’m due at work tomorrow, I can’t just go and work in a bar in Magaluf for a month instead. If he wanted to take part in this show he should have done the decent thing and stood down.

Not wanting to defend MH but I don't understand why there was so little said (or did I miss it?) about Boris Johnson off in the Caribbean last month. He was also being paid and he was the Prime Minister through the pandemic, the one behind the Buck Stop Here sign. How does BJ get off so lightly?

He wasn't paid £400k for his holiday though.
