Matt Hancock affair (2)

[TheoMeo]

Looks like we might need a new thread.

well the they can look elsewhere for any blame game, since he has resigned.

I suppose the headache of trying to find a replacement who isn't even more incompetent was probably one of the reasons Boris didn't sack him.

He was hopelessly out of his depth, glad to see he has gone.

Mr Johnson should go as well, preferably to prison.

I used to feel sorry for him.

I thought he was a semi decent guy who wanted to do his job well but just wasn't very successful at it.

Even with all the Cummings stuff I still felt sorry for him.

But how wrong was I!

Is there one person who has any morality in that government? I have never known corruption and sleaze like it.

anyone heard Gove? he cannot even pronounce Covid correctly,

From The Times:

Support for the health secretary had been leaching away after it emerged that Hancock told his wife he was leaving her on Thursday evening shortly after he learned that his affair with married female aide Gina Coladangelo was about to be exposed

Martha Hancock had no idea her husband was having an affair with his university friend until the health secretary broke the news and announced that their marriage was over

What a total arse.

Do you think he filmed the resignation video from the garden because his wife won’t let him in the house?

Good point

I fell for her, and the other husband, and all DC caught up in thus. It's bad enough when it happens at all to anyone, but there must be extra layers of hell when it's so public

The resignation speech is nauseous. Really nauseous.

Saw this on Twitter..

Oh they can both fuck off.

Don’t know which is worse - the resignation letter or the reply. Fucking scumbags, the pair of them. 😡

I've just watched that video, and personally, my opinion is that at least some of this has been staged.

I've never seen anyone look more relieved in my life!

"Non-executive directors hold advisory roles and also have no role in awarding NHS contracts," the insider said.

Someone must think the British public are a bunch of tax paying numpties.

Boris's reply to Matt's resignation is as disgraceful as the resignation letter itself.

He hasn’t mentioned his poor wife at all in the resignation letter...

Those resignation/reply letters between Hancock and the PM were plainly drafted and ready to go whilst Buckland and Lewis were still saying "nothing to see here" on the duty round this weekend.

Well the betting is on Gove or Zahawi or Dowden to replace. Gods forbid a woman run the NHS.

I can amend that for him 'my private life to put a spotlight on the fact that I am completely and utterly incompetent and that a chocolate teapot is more useful than me'

@Zampa

Ridiculous. 150,000 dead but resigns over an extra-marital affair.

Also, he should have been sacked and not allowed to resign.

You’re right. The Andrew Marr show should be interesting tomorrow morning.

Please not Dowden, he is a right plonker

I hrft but why was it filmed? Did someone secretly film him or is there CCTV in that office?
If the latter are people working there aware of the CCTV?

Well, I am sorry he has gone. I liked him and thought he would have gone on to higher office. Silly man letting lust overcome him.

Should have kept it in his trousers then shouldn't he!

Oh dear, going by OW's body language I'm not sure it's going to work out. What a mess. (Though a drop in the ocean compared to his bigger covid mess...)

Really hope his wife has all the support she needs right now.
