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.

Dominic Cummings is sat sipping his tea smugly this morning
That he is. How embarrassing.

Oh FFS, does your sex life completely stop when you're dealing with shit at work
But there are surely a lot of lies and secrecy with an affair. Surely that distracts you, also guilt.

Taxpayers are paying for his little affair.

Benjispruce3 · 25/06/2021 07:40

Oh dear me, what a shower of sleaze!

Nothing will happen to Hancock. The woman in question will have to leave her job. While the double standards of that are infuriating, she should never have had that job anyway, given that she is a millionaire lobbyist who got the role through nepotism.

Good old Hancock. How to liven up a dull summer political season. Well done Man, well done.

GC hasn't been afraid to splash her private life before. "Every woman has to make her own choice." I just can't choose which of my colleagues to shag first

Oliver Tress: "There are no major financial decisions to make, and we are not extravagant." until the divorce lawyers got involved, that is

CandyLeBonBon · 25/06/2021 07:43

Apparently not keeping your dick in your pants is a Tory pre-requisite. How tediously predictable.

Oh FFS, does your sex life completely stop when you're dealing with shit at work, do you say not tonight love I've a very important job to get done but will resume sexual relations when all has settled down!!

He's an arsehole if he's been shagging around behind his wife's back but sex is a great stress reliever, can help if you're not sleeping, if you feel a bit discombobulated and want to feel something familiar, it doesn't have to stop because you've an important task to get through at work!

Good morning Matt, dress it up how you like but you have been paying the woman you have been sleeping with (and if Sky is to be believed its been going on for much longer than a month) whilst lying and failing at your job.
Cam77 · 25/06/2021 07:44

Tory sleeze is back with the Health Secretary getting it on at work and during a pandemic. But this country is so corrupt and arsebackwards a lot of voters will probably applaud it. Go Matty boy!

He has a wife. Surely he could simply have sex with her? If he didn't want to have sex with her then he could separate, and THEN have sex with someone else. No one is saying he can't have sex.

"How did the Sun get cctv footage (that’s what it looks like and they mention it’s a video) inside the department of health?"

This is what I don't understand - also, is secret video surveillance like this even legal?

If Matt H was having an affair with someone unconnected with government in his spare time I agree that wouldn't really be our business, but when he is snogging his special adviser at 3pm in his ministerial office then it very much is.

My money is on the remote password not being changed from the default 0000, and someone helpfully tipping off the newspapers
Creamteayesplease · 25/06/2021 07:46

I have no interest in Matt Hancock’s private life or anybody else’s quite frankly. If he’s having an affair, that’s his business and he needs to answer to his wife. Why is his private life “news”, are we back in the 90s? People in high office and other walks of life do have affairs. The reporting of this is all about our entertainment and a chance to have a good gossip.

How he is performing in his job, on the other hand, is a completely separate matter.

PurpleyBlue · 25/06/2021 07:47

Poor wife and kids having it all over the news.

Leshan · 25/06/2021 07:47

Just goes to show - be male, have a big, powerful job and there's always someone who'll shag you.

Magicpaintbrush · 25/06/2021 07:48

What a fucking creep. I hope he sinks into the abyss never to be heard from again, and the OW who must have known full well he was married.

My thoughts are with his wife, whose life has been turned upside down. Absolutely horrific for her. I hope she boots his arse out of the family home. She can do much better than that slimy weasel.

Bodgers · 25/06/2021 07:49

I came on here as soon as I saw the news to catch the hilarious commentary, and you haven’t disappointed MN.

MiddleParking · 25/06/2021 07:51

Not only would she have known he was married but she’s been his ‘friend’ since they were at Oxford together and he’s been working closely with/apparently very reliant on her at work. Oh, you’d be fucking livid if you were the wife.

BiscoffAddict · 25/06/2021 07:51

This lady isn’t the only one either. We’ve been talking about MH’s affairs on Tattle life for the last year, wondering when it would all come out about him. He’s had at least one other one prior to this, and there was a Popbitch blind item last year that was obviously about this. I feel sorry for his wife and kids, but his wife needs to turf him out!

I wonder if there are any MPs who don’t cheat on their spouses?

PurpleyBlue · 25/06/2021 07:51

@DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat

Now we know who started all those ‘AIBU to fancy Matt Hancock?’ threads……
Hahaha!
AbsolutelyPatsy · 25/06/2021 07:52

The Sun have got it in for him, what a load of crap

PurpleyBlue · 25/06/2021 07:52

I hope the wife knew about this before the papers.

Heronsnest · 25/06/2021 07:53

Presumably his kids have access to the internet and will have to face their mates at school today.

Normally I'd I'd inclined to agree. But firstly she has been paid by taxpayers, secondly if it comes out that this was continuing back during the first lockdown where people were forced to spend months and months with no human contact, families unable to see each other then it most certainly isn't a separate matter.

The two are very much linked, it involves employing your lover using public funds and breaking CV rules.

Morality matters and affects much of your personal AND work life, he is health sec, in charge during one of this countries most challenging periods, yet he finds time to pursue an affair.
He has spent his time thinking about getting in her pants rather than, in his own words "Saving lives"
