Please don’t let Hunt take the job. FFS this gets grimmer by the day.

Bunch of venal, corrupt cowboys who can’t keep it in their pants.

Roberto Coladangelo is the strategy director of Partnering Health Limited, which has several NHS contracts, Sky News can reveal.

Why are Sky News surprised that Partnering Health Limited has several NHS contracts?

Partnering Health Limited was founded in 2009 by a team of commercial partners and experienced General Practitioners...

In early 2016 PHL took over operational and commercial responsibility for Guildhall Walk GP Practice in central Portsmouth...

Partnering Health Limited employs a team of over 220 staff directly and works closely with our team of over 200 self employed GPs...

Why would a company specialising in the provision of urgent and primary care services to NHS patients not have several NHS contracts??

Oh FFS.

It's all bolocks the contracts the company wouldn't have them I'd it wasn't for Matt cock

TossaCoinToYerWitcher · 25/06/2021 21:23

But once he gets the feedback from his beloved focus groups, Hancock will be gone, I'm sure of it. It's not the affair that voters will object to, it's the hypocrisy. This will cut through like Cummings and Barnard Castle, no question.

The thing is, Cummings didn't go over Barnard Castle. He went because he fell out with Carrie.

Boris doesn't do consequences. He never has. Whenever someone gets upset about something, he just hides, stonewalls, repeats "case closed" or "move on" and waits until it either blows over or people give up.

And, to be fair, look at the opinion polls. If the public don't care enough, why should he?

I fear that creepy Gavin Williamson will blackmail Johnson into giving him the gig. And Williamson is the very worst of a very bad lot.

So she worked for a large organization. But at what level and what were her responsibilities ? What did this strategic counsel involve ? How do we know that it was successful ?*

It's amazing how far you can get with name.
Why are people. Defending this, I don't get it it what's the motivation.

Let's focus on Matt Hancock, not any woman who is caught up in this web of lies and alleged corruption.

Like Boris Johnson his alleged corruption should be a matter for the courts. The French have been prepared to bring criminal charges against politicians (most recently Francois Fillon) and so should we.

I agree, except she wasn’t ‘caught up’ she knew his position, knew he was married and knew she could use her influence (new word for it) to gain lucrative contracts for her family.

She’s as culpable as him. He, however is a government minister and should be above reproach or resign. Actually, he should just resign and face charges.

All of the pharmacies in my local high street seem to have Covid contracts - one doing NHS community testing, another giving jabs...

Chickpeasorchips · 25/06/2021 21:29

I don't think it's convenient for the PM and wonder if it's more to do with the newspaper owner in some way. Somebody has sat on this photo for a while and released it for an agenda surely. The people running the media are very powerful.

astoundedgoat · 25/06/2021 21:29

This from Cold War Steve on Twitter this morning - is that a... violinist in the background? Wink

I don't think they'll LET him quit over this because then that would make BJ look like even more of a shamless prat than he does already. It'll be death by a thousand cuts.

If Hancock really wanted to hurt BJ at this point he could resign because he views infidelity as a true dealbreaker for a minister, and that the public could never trust a man who didn't take his marital vows seriously, so he feels compelled by his conscience to step down, as would any other man of honour, who cared about his family. But he's too much of a slimy git.

Cummings leaked it to fuck with BJ & co.

RoseRedRoseBlue · 25/06/2021 21:30

Jesus, the video is a million times worse than the pics.

CovidCorvid · 25/06/2021 21:32

Watched the video. It looks like a phone recording of a cctv video, it’s a bit shaky/moving. Guess that will make it harder to find out who leaked it.

She has a weird hair parting.

LizzieSiddal · 25/06/2021 21:32

Johnson can’t sack a lying, cheating incompetent minister because it has been proven that Johnson is exactly the same.

And can people please STOP calling his “Boris” it makes him sound like a genial good old chap, who we all love.

I don't care if you all think I'm a nut but I just don't believe that video. It's all like some hammy actors, I think he has been paid off to be the fall guy

@astoundedgoat

Cummings left Govt last November, he didn't have access to any departments in May, the date of the photos.

Newspapers have a nose for finding this sought of stuff and know all the tricks to get information.

My money would be on the SUN being pissed off with BJ/MH over foreign holidays, a lot of people are questioning why europeans are in Mallorca etc and we are not, where is the UK's vaccine dividend?
