Surely you would have cameras in a Government building and surely pointing it at doorways between different areas or departments isn't a bad idea.
It looks like a screenshot of a cctv security camera monitor.

@Bertiebiscuit

Word on the street is that the affair is at least a year old - so probably this is not the only time they broke the rules
It’s been going on since 2019 at least as they’ve been pictured together since lots of times since then.

Blimey, if I sent my dh even one text at work I'd be flamed , let alone 89 an hour.
Her mobile must have exploded in the heat
' get rid of him ' must be tedious to read once let alone 89 times.
She got her way though.

'Scotland and Wales aren't being led by a 'shape shifting creep' so they may feel more confident in what they are being told by their public health authorities. I must have missed their health ministers resigning this weekend too.'

Doesn't change the fact their results have been similar if not worse. Hmm not a health minister resigning but their CMO Calderwood resigned due to rule breaking right in the midst of actual 'stay at home ' lockdown not very recently just as everything was relaxing and of course their snp minister went on a jolly jaunt all over the UK whilst positive. But yes Johnson is a 'shape shifting creep' 🙄.

And she went to the G7 health summit in Oxford with him. More might come out on that. Given she only worked 15 days a year, she seemed to pop up a lot...

Yeah it does seem like this has going on in plain sight for a while I think.

@Blossomtoes

Dom says Mrs J sent Boz 89 texts per hour

Is that even possible?

Surely DomCom is just jealous that Bojo divorced him for her?

I wonder how it feel to be Hancock knowing that he had to resign because the adulterer in chief's new wife was so shocked by him kissing that he had to go.
the80sweregreat · 28/06/2021 18:46

There's a funny pic in the Mail of Dom lurking behind a lamppost regarding the 89 texts an hour debacle.
He is as omnipresent as Gina was around Matt Hancock. Bunch of stalkers.

Roussette · 28/06/2021 18:46

Bis I read his staff were fed up with it! No idea how true that is.

Out of curiosity what could Johnson do that you would condemn?

His behaviour is fascinating. I can't help hoping there's a bigger mastermind who is about to release damning gossip about Cummings. Surely they didn't just let him gather all the info without having back up of some description. I just want him to be double bluffed and put an end to his weird Twitter tirades full of tx spk.

@Scaredycatmoo76

* People wonder who votes for the Tories and why they keep getting in. This is who and why.*

Exactly.
I had an operation during lockdown. Care was superb. I was able to see my gp
I was furloughed on 80% fo protect my job

Two critical reasons why I think the government did pretty well

I'm not sure my and DHs families would share your view. SIL hadn't been self employed long enough to qualify for the SE grant snd being a beautician couldn't work for substantial periods of time. BIL desperately needs an operation and is in constant pain but the waiting time has gone up from 3 to.12 months. My other BIL got caught in the same self employed void and his area of work.has disappeared completely adxs result of covid. My DF was admitted to hospital 5 times in 3 months and nearly died because his GP wouldn't see him face to face resulting in a serious misdiagnosis. My mother's dementia has worsened significantly through lack of social contact snd my disabled MIL got too scared to even go in her garden. But you're OK so all is well with the world.

He broke lockdown rules whilst thousands of families couldnt be with their dying relatives. My daughters partner had covid. She last saw him at the door ICU she couldnt even touch him. This was on 5th November last year. She never saw him again until his funeral 3 weeks later and then he was inside a wooden box.They wouldnt even let her see his body. All that time Hancock was probably having it away with his bit on the side.

Roussette · 28/06/2021 19:06

myleghurts oh my god, that is absolutely shocking. Your poor daughter. I hope she is coping as well as she can be. That is so so sad.

I do think people were furious about this, quite rightly. If you want these positions in Government... like Hancock did, like Cummings did... you just have to be whiter than white.
Unfortunately that is not the case with those two.

Livingtothefull · 28/06/2021 19:15

I am so sorry myleghurts for what your daughter has been through.

showmethegin · 28/06/2021 19:32

@myleghurts I'm so sorry to hear of what your daughter is going through Thanks

Livingtothefull · 28/06/2021 19:45

I know we are almost beyond being shocked at this Government but Hancock's actions - during the most traumatic time most of us have ever lived through - just appal me, he has stuck two fingers up at us all.

'Sorry' doesn't cover it. Not only has he - the Secretary of State for Health! - exposed his own family and friends to COVID risk, he has shat on the rest of us too. I spent several months of lockdown trying to work from home and care for my disabled DS....all his usual care plans lost as we couldn't have carers for months and months. My DS shows signs of being traumatised by what he has been through over the past year.

I know we are not the worst off, many have lost their lives and many bereaved have been unable to attend their loved ones' funerals. And people accepted all of this as they were told it was the right thing to do to safeguard everyone, by the Health Secretary and the Government.

Now it turns out that all along the Health Secretary was doing just what he felt like doing while the rest of us made sacrifices. And got his new woman a 'job' to facilitate his affair, at the same time when people were losing jobs and businesses going under due to Covid.

Anyone who isn't outraged by this damn well should be.

I read that Matt Hancock told his wife the marriage was over Friday just before the cctv footage was leaked . What a cock !

Piglet89 · 28/06/2021 20:06

@Livingtothefull I’m sorry you’ve had it so tough.

Great post: agree wholeheartedly.

CrankyFrankie · 28/06/2021 20:07

It was an inside job! There have been MN murmurings for weeks about the stage being set for him to be the fall guy. Proof that Cummings and Bobo are still in cahoots after all.

Peregrina · 28/06/2021 20:09

Don't know about that - but probably shows that new wife Carrie is as nasty a piece of work as Cummings was.

Was that the same article that said he woke his youngest son up to say he was leaving. Angry
