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.

Can't say it's a huge surprise aside from a woman wanting to get that close to him. It's a shame when people in power have such poor morals and standards.

Really should have been getting on with the job which he is shit at anyway. I really feel for his wife and kids, so horribly public. So disrespectful of him, ghastly awful man.

Yes, because having an affair is all well and good, so long as covid restrictions aren't breached

He's a liar and a cheat and, in my experience, those qualities don't stop at your love life, which goes some way to explain the incompetence he expresses in his very important job.

I feel sorry for his wife.

This reminds me of the revenge scene in Braveheart.

Boris quivers alone in his castle, knowing, KNOWING, that Dom's coming for him next. Bagpipes

I believe there’s still an ongoing inquiry in to the affair Johnson had with Ms Acuri...
Who he is also accused of giving money to whilst in public office.
He can’t exactly sack Matt Hancock for doing exactly the same.
They are morally reprehensible and it’s a disgrace we have these weasels in charge of us.

@Mollymarvelous

I’d be more concerned about why he is able to hire his mates .. nepotism at its finest.

Exactly - this is the question that needs answering. And in which there is a public standards interest

Was she hired because he fancied her (or the affair had already begun), or was she hired anyhow and the affair began later?

His poor wife and her poor husband. Let’s not forget there are two people that have this humiliating footage of their spouses in the Sun. Oh and six children caught up in this mess.

Matt Hancock could probably say, "Well BoJo does worse and he is still in a job..."

So much for "i'm too busy saving lives"

He'll stay and it will be excused and then forgotten, he and Bojo have done far worse.

How have 9% said the op ibu?

They are morally reprehensible and it’s a disgrace we have these weasels in charge of us.

I wonder if Keir Starma is too nice to comment - we really need new leaders - of any party

Also curious as to how the Sun got the video/photos? I would assume that the DofH had pretty high security regarding photos etc from inside?

Howling

Pilot study

Never thought I'd say I'm cheering Dominic Cummings on.....

I haven’t had time to have sex with my actual husband for weeks on end becuse we’ve both been working stupid hours to respond to the panny d. And this git has got time for a bit on the side?

People will express more anger at him for having an affair than directly being responsible for people dying...

meh. Who would have an affair with that incompetent twat? good luck to them.

But - given the behaviour of the PM who in their right minds thinks this will bring him down?

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

Disgusting behaviour. His poor wife and kids. It’s bad enough when it happens without it being all over the news. Just another horrible man, and OW.

@musicalfrog

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

Haha my thoughts exactly 😂

@TheoMeo

I can't believe DC will get into a Gov position again. Surely!!!

He will if Gove becomes prime minister.

You'd think so, but it fits nicely in with the plan to blame him for the entire government's failings during covid. That's easier when people see him as a lying cheat

@Honey12346

People will express more anger at him for having an affair than directly being responsible for people dying...

Or the fact that as tax payers we were paying for the privilege

@TheoMeo The queen also added "He is full of..." (I think she wanted to say full of sh!t, before Bojo ended the sentence with 'beans')

I’d be more concerned about why he is able to hire his mates .. nepotism at its finest.

This and what @AllPowerfulLizardPerson said
