Matt Hancock affair

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.

Couldn't care less

@Sparechange

If, hypothetically speaking, the brother of the OW owned and ran several companies which were recently awarded contracts outsourced from the NHS, would that be even more fucking outrageous?

Hypothetically speaking of course…

Because that may or may not be what the sun will be reporting later on today…

Fucking hell. Coladangelo's brother?

They barely bother to hide their thieving. Brazen bastards. Fuck a Tory minister and your extended family can rake it in in handy little contracts. Your sibling is a Tory minister? Wahey, your luck is in too!

UrAWizHarry · 25/06/2021 10:16

The man is a fucking tool and he deserves everything he gets. His incompetence is a very big part of why the UK has done so badly with COVID.

My god. There are TWO women willing to snog him and he found them both? What are the chances

Funny how they have been friends since Uni and they didnt get together then, I wonder what she now sees in the high ranking, well known MH that has made a difference? (To misquote the amazing Mrs Merton)

It’s absolutely disgusting, he’s been telling people to not hug family members whilst he’s been off doing god knows what - during work hours - with a woman who isn’t his wife!! It’s just a joke, glad I didn’t stop hugging.

ItsAllBlahBlahBlah · 25/06/2021 10:18

Those pictures mad me laugh out loud. Not in respect to the affair, I feel terrible for the partners and children, but Matts face and groping hands... Mmmm, bet he thinks its sexy 🤢

CrappyBirthday2Me · 25/06/2021 10:19

I feel like Cummings or whoever is behind this is playing a very clever game where they give a little info, lets the subject of the scandal deny and react based on it and then releases the next bit that shows their denial/reaction to be a lie and humiliates them.

I’m CONFIDENT that after this ‘Well we didn’t break the rules’ denial (like that’s even an excuse but ok) there will be another release that proves that they did, in fact, break the rules. It’s coming, Hancock!

@pigeonpies

A man has an affair with someone he works with. Shock horror.

Seriously move on, really nothing to see here. It happens all day every day.

I'm not a fan of MH but an affair doesn't mean he can't concentrate on his job. Just like last year when I started a new relationship and everything was exciting and tense, i still managed to focus on my job, my home life, my kids etc. It's really not hard to separate the two.

If he's shit at his job, it's because he's the wrong guy.

I do feel sorry for his wife, but he's been criticised heavily in the press from day one, that must have been tough seeing your loved one ripped apart so publicly. Let's not reduce this down to a woman being shamed by her husband, times have moved on

But we’re you cheating? When my cheating ex husband was in the throes of a passionate affair he was dropping clambers in his job ( electrical engineer) all over the place. Clangers that were costing millions in some cases.

@IChatShit

erm he employed an old friend using taxpayers money, he also broke social distancing rules, of course it is our businessHmm
Dominic Cummings also employs old friends using taxpayers' money. This was last July.

Firm with links to Gove and Cummings given Covid-19 contract without open tender
Research company owned by associates of senior Tory and PM’s adviser gets £840,000 job
www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/10/firm-with-links-to-gove-and-cummings-given-covid-19-contract-without-open-tender

The Cabinet Office has awarded an £840,000 contract to research public opinion about government policies to a company owned by two long-term associates of Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings, without putting the work out for tender.
[...]
The government justified the absence of a competitive tendering process, which would have enabled other companies to bid, under emergency regulations that allow services to be urgently commissioned in response to the Covid-19 crisis.

However, the Cabinet Office’s public record states that portions of the work, which involved focus group research, related to Brexit rather than Covid-19

Loved and miss mrs Merton. She got it spot on didn’t she?
LadyPoison · 25/06/2021 10:22

Shame this didn't come out months ago - we could have been rid of this hopeless minister then.

I don't care about his affair - but he was clearly not following the cruel and heartless rules he imposed on the rest of us.

ScribblyBaller · 25/06/2021 10:22

Well yes, they're all at it. Cummings is also a self-serving bell-end. That's not going to surprise anyone.

CrappyBirthday2Me · 25/06/2021 10:23

I don’t think ‘Dominic Cummings is odious and corrupt too’ is a defence. Fuck, how did our standards get so low.

'Love' in a "totally fucking hopeless" place

🤮

shewalkslikerihanna · 25/06/2021 10:23

Clambers? Lol
Clangers
( and I’m not having an affair 😂)

youshouldbeplotting · 25/06/2021 10:23

Oh dear, what a stupid man he is. If you are a minister and you are going to have an affair, at least don't conduct it in your office where there are security cameras all over the place.

I feel sorry for the cheated upon spouses. What a horrible way for them to find out.

@ScribblyBaller

Colandangelo is not a very common surname which makes a quick google very interesting...

Someone called Roberto holds several directorships in health-related companies:
find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/ainJwd2ay1TQpytS1-6DvtjBBk8/appointments

Including a directorship at this company:
www.phlgroup.co.uk

Which seems to have been awarded contracts for Out of Hours doctors services, Covid testing, and custody health services for the police

According to this electoral roll record, Gina and Roberto are linked to the same residential address as two others with the same surname
www.192.com/atoz/people/coladangelo/heather/sg8/304041788/

So that looks pretty fucking murky to me...

shewalkslikerihanna · 25/06/2021 10:24

He’s got a target on his back alright.
He can run but he can’t hide.
More to come.

MrsUnderkracker · 25/06/2021 10:24

I am disgusted. It's the lowest of the low.

Stupid and foolish man.

What a twat.

youshouldbeplotting · 25/06/2021 10:25

Agree with pps that this is just a taster. There will be more over the weekend, I bet.

And yet no one will care, we have no effective opposition. No wonder those in power feel they can do as they please.

ScribblyBaller · 25/06/2021 10:25

That looks very fucking murky. Top sleuthing, @SW1amp. Will be interesting to hear what emerges.

thenewduchessofhastings · 25/06/2021 10:27

Another bloke having an affair with a work colleague;how cliché.

His poor wife:she should LTB.

Extremely fucking murky and yet deeply, deeply unsurprising.
