Matt Hancock affair

[TheoMeo]

AIBU to be utterly peed off that another one of our Ministers - rather than devoting his time and effort to getting the country out of this mess - is busy carrying on with an aide (which he appointed at great expense to the tax payer) - aaaaaaag.

I could care less. Name me a politician who hasn’t had an affair. And of the ones who haven’t been named, I would bet money that they just haven’t been caught.

And really, this is likely just Dominic cunt err I mean Cummings sticking the boot in just a little bit more. I think less of him than I do of yet another politician who happens to have done what most politicians do.

I echo all the pps saying they feel sorry for his wife and dc and also questioning the "chumocracy" aspect of this? What was this woman, a professional lobbyist, doing working as a governmental advisor? On what basis are all of these unelected advisors working at the heart of government employed? What do they actually do?

'Are there any Tory MPs who haven't had affairs?'
Gove?

Paddy Ashdown , John Prescott and let’s not mention Eric Joyce !!!!

Thankfully our great and glorious leader is squeaky clean

At the time this footage was taken it was illegal to meet someone outside your household indoors barring certain exemptions like work or bubbles. I don’t think he can be bubbled with her given they both have families and they certainly aren’t working. He is literally doing what he told other people not to do. Hypocrite doesn’t cover it.

I love how so many come on to stick up for him, if his wife was on here telling us what had gone on it would be ' Ltb and get the best divorce lawyer in town and your ducks in a row'
They were having an affair at work.
He is clearly another Tory sleaze bag.
He was telling us all what to do or not do whilst shagging about. Ok, he may not have ' broken the rules ' as regards covid , but it's still bad and his probably gutted his been caught in the act.
I hope his wife and children have someone supporting them as they will need it.
My sympathies are with them.

I hope he goes - not particularly over this - i'm just sick of the lot of them. We need a cull.

She is also a director and major shareholder at lobbying firm Luther Pendragon, which offers clients a “deep understanding of the mechanics of government”.

What surprises me is that he has two women willing to fuck him.
Honestly, he's a slimy slug looking man who doesn't look like he's ever seen sunlight, AND he's completely useless, even according to Boris.

How did this happen?

How can he not have broken the rules?

This democracy thing is a real bugger !!!’

Perhaps I mean go from teh position of Sec of state. Also Boris as PM.

I couldn’t care less who he shags but I object to my taxes being used to pay yet another crony - that’s the appalling part about this.

@SchrodingersImmigrant

At this point I don't even worry about the affair.

That's cctv. Someome there, with enough clearance to get to that images, released them.
Now that is worrying, isn't it. Because it brings one question.

What are they distracting us from.

I think this is very concerning.

Giving this some further thought, maybe the plan is to provide sufficient evidence that Matt Hancock has to stand down (I don't think BJ can sack him for this with his own track record of affairs). BJ then releases us all from COVID restrictions and on a vaccine high decides it's a good time to stand down as PM, making way for Michael Gove with Dominic Cummings as his advisor. Or have I been watching too many political TV dramas?

Is it wrong to wish these pictures were of Gavin Williamson instead of Matt Hancock?

God , I wish I could unsee that CCTV image, 🤦🏼‍♀️

Honestly I can't fucking stand the man (or any of this fucked up government) but having looked at the photos that looks like a total set up. So convenient to have them standing beneath the CCTV camera with his hands on her arse. It reeks. However I don't give a crap if he goes other than it indicating how this country now conducts its politics.

It is horrible isn't it? I bet he is incredibly needy.

If it's for the purposes of getting Williamson to leave his job that's fine. Any other reason... not envy

HappySonHappyMum don’t wish it , one cabinet member is enough,

The Husband is quite good looking , how did she go from that to Hancock

I don't see and never have how what someone does in bed and with whom has any bearing on how they do their job.

You may disapprove of what someone does, from a moral viewpoint, and make a judgement of them accordingly.

But unless the affair is impinging directly on their ability to work, and that's hard to prove, it's none of our business.

HANDS FACE MY PLACE

Only hopeless at his actual job then ?
Clearly a hit with the ladies at work.

Haven't read through the whole thread but he won't be sacked for this. Boris can hardly sack someone for having an affair when he himself has form for it.

He should have been at bloody work though !
Not clutching women's bums on camera and conducting affairs AT WORK!
How can anyone stick up for him really ?
