To wonder where Matt Hancock is hiding?

Does anyone else find it odd that the press haven’t found him yet, given that they must be looking everywhere and most people would recognise him if they saw him now? Do you think someone is harbouring him somewhere? Why are they hounding his wife and not looking for him? I mean can’t hide forever can he, at some stage he’s got to come out of the woodwork and face the music instead of hiding like a coward.

He's got lots of pals around who owe him big after getting cushy covid contracts so I expect one of them is harbouring him.

@Bjarnum

'The longer the wait the sweeter the kiss" posted by Gina. Made my hackles rise - how sweet to put 6 kids through the wringer and betrayer your partners who trusted you. Sweet????
She posted that in 2019 as well so clearly been going on for two years at least. For a grown woman in her 40’s to post something like that is pathetic, but anyway I digress.

@LakieLady if you do see him give him a smack round the face from me! Thanks!

Who knows
Who cares

It's his wife and family I feel sorry for

I agree about the disgusting treatment of Chris Whitty, there should be much more public outrage about that. Hancock has gone and good riddance.

JemimaMoon · 30/06/2021 20:21

Supporting his kids through the horror they are living I hope.

thegcatsmother · 30/06/2021 20:24

He’s lost his job and been totally humiliated, leave the poor sod alone.

Perhaps he should have thought about the consequences of his actions a bit harder then; he purports to be an adult after all.

Yeah that’s disgraceful and unacceptable. He should have protection as he’s been harassed in the street before.

He must have some very good friends who are covering for him, which is all well and good, but leaving his wife to face to press every day shows just what a coward he is. He needs to face the music so that they will leave the poor woman alone

DobbyTheHouseElk · 30/06/2021 20:42

No idea. Who cares?

RoseRedRoseBlue · 30/06/2021 20:47

I am not so sure CW should have protection - purely because it leaves the question of where we draw the line. Most MP’s don’t have protection, nor do many other high profile public figures. I would far rather we came down hard on the idiots that harassed him and sent out a strong message that that sort of behaviour won’t be tolerated.

@sittingonacornflake

I am curious I have to say
Agree. It's curiosity.

I really feel for Martha and also agree with comments about Chris Whitty.

The fact they could film him on the quiet and print the pictures and then he disappears is just mind boggling!

TotorosCatBus · 30/06/2021 21:11

The press need to leave Martha alone. If they want to hound someone it should be Matt and to a lesser extent Gina. I don't need to see Martha right now. Photograph her when she's ready and upgraded her ex for a better man.

Heyyeahyouwiththesadface · 30/06/2021 21:19

@TeardropsFallingOnHotSand that footage was appalling. Poor CW being manhandled like that, he looked terrified!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/06/2021 21:23

Sush don't tell anyone but He's in my attic 😂😂😂

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/06/2021 21:30

@Totoroscatbus. Why to a "lesser" extent Gina. She's every bit as bad as he is. She knew the weasel was married. She's also broken a lot of hearts. Please don't make out she's the sweet and meek other women who didn't know she was shagging a,married man. I hope Martha takes Matt and Ginas husband take them both for all they can get.. Its only what they deserve.

Ekofisk · 30/06/2021 21:30

I can take a guess, given that the press reported that Gina had gone to West Sussex and the press also reporting that they are shacked up together.

That changed on Monday. Apparently they’re in Cambridgeshire now.
Ekofisk · 30/06/2021 21:35

OK, so not the West Wittering pad then Smile

DogsSausages · 30/06/2021 21:43

What about Gina husband is he getting harrassed too. Good luck to Matty and Gina, they deserve each other. The less I see or hear about either of them the better.

No, no, no.
This is the least he should have expected and he knew exactly what he was doing and the consequences for him, his wife and kids. To do it to yourself - fine. To your family, especially children in such a public way - unforgivable.

PartyNeeded · 30/06/2021 21:55

If I'd had an affair and been outed and was still earning a wage I'd still be expected at work... He's still being paid as an MP?
