Or perhaps the untouchable Williamson will get a go at fucking up Health too now he's done Education?!

@Clavinova do you think that the Prime Minister should resign because he left in post a Secretary of State that he thought was hopeless and useless for more than a year and did not even have the authority to sack said Minister when he had become a complete laughing stock?

Looks as though he’s lost the lot according to The Times

Grassroots anger is such that Hancock could be deselected as the party’s candidate. One local activist said: “There is fury within the constituency party. If he goes as minister which he will, I imagine, I can’t see him surviving for long as MP.

At a meeting of Suffolk Conservatives on Friday evening, Hancock made a speech. His only public support came from Rachel Hood, a Tory councillor who is married to the leading racehorse trainer John Gosden. Hood donated £10,000 to Hancock in 2018.

Maybe Jezza Hunt will take the job back..... 🤮

Any aides linked to Gavin Williamson? Maybe a scoop too far!
SophieB100 · 26/06/2021 18:58

Oh god @snowballer, please don't talk that nightmare up!

He's just been on Sky making a statement. Pillock.

Just goes to show how destructively powerful and damaging the lure of free sex is.

EsmaCannonball · 26/06/2021 18:58

For me the resigning issue here is employing someone who was a friend and who is a lobbyist. However, I can't believe he's more ashamed of this than doing the equivalent of sending smallpox blankets into care homes.

Benjispruce3 · 26/06/2021 19:00

Thank gawd the weasel has resigned.

SophieB100 · 26/06/2021 19:00

Haha @the80sweregreat
Come on Sun, pay some poor sod millions to snog Gavlaars face off, and get it on camera.

vinicunca · 26/06/2021 19:00

Thank god for that and bugger off the lot of them.

@Lampzade

Don’t think that the other woman will leave her husband or kids for Matt Hancock.
Quite, there's often one party who really just wants an ego boost...perhaps Hancock has left his wife to try to strong arm the OW into leaving too.

He'll be playing Ode to the Lonely Bedsit on that ukulele of his.

Benjispruce3 · 26/06/2021 19:01

Please not Williamson the fireplace salesman!

Blossomtoes · 26/06/2021 19:02

Apparently she already has.

Haha *@the80sweregreat* Come on Sun, pay some poor sod millions to snog Gavlaars face off, and get it on camera.
Hmm, who could they employ ? If it's a six figure sum involved, I bet there would be a short queue of people up for it!
bitheby · 26/06/2021 19:02

She's already packed up and left. That was in the Sun yesterday. He's in his constituency. No idea where she is.

I never liked the waster, but last year, April, height of the pandemic, he was spouting on, eyes straight to camera, that every ICU nurse had proper PPE. Stretching all his sinews, eyes tearing up, the lot. Liar. My DD and her team had been taking home inadequate PPE from their ICU unit, where they were tending dying Covid patients, and bleaching it overnight before going back into hell the next day.

Apparently her husband helped her pack, maybe she didn't have a choice

BREAKING: Nadhim Zahawi will be Hancock’s replacement

I really like Zahawi.

Zahawi is the one that couldn't tell the months apart when talking about vaccinations and said May was before March

He meant May not March I assume - he was interviewed at 7.09 am in the morning according to the news clip.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 26/06/2021 19:06

Zahawi is the one that couldn't tell the months apart when talking about vaccinations and said May was before March iirc...

He was also involved in the expenses scandal and in a sleazy "men only" event at the Dorchester where it's said staff were assaulted

Hang on though - inappropriate dealings both financial and sexual? I guess he really could do Hancock's job Grin

DuncinToffee · 26/06/2021 19:06

Gina Coladangelo is leaving her position on the board of the DoH
