To think that Hancock's had a brakedown & is making silly decisions

To think, although self inflicted, partially, but maybe from the covid crisis stress he's just lost the plot completely by going on I'm a celeb? He's in no right mind is he!

@DoubleDinnurs I LOVE this idea

How big can the “cast” be?

ImAvingOops · 01/11/2022 20:46

He was no worse in his behaviour than Johnson and many of the other politicians who've been caught with their trousers down over the years. But he lost his job and BJ (amongst others) managed to cling on, despite being no better.
Johnson and Truss (whose level of fuck up was truly spectacular) left office with a nice fat pay check of £100,000 every year. Hancock has a divorce to pay for, a new partner accustomed to a high standard of living and no golden handshake.
He's not likely to turn down a fat cheque from ITV!

That said, he can't serve his constituency from Australia and since he's receiving an MPs salary, he ought to be here earning it!

He threw care home residents under a bus and now wants to be a celebrity....

And lied several times about it. Stating words to the effect of he’d “thrown a ring of protection around care homes”.

I don’t think he’s had a breakdown, I think he’s just a grade A Cunt.

He's been suspended from the Conservatives

He comes across as someone who desperately wants to be well liked which is a shame given that he's so fundamentally unlikeable.

Exactly this. See also, Liz Truss.

ImAvingOops · 01/11/2022 21:25

He's been suspended from the Conservatives but he's still an MP. So really he should be at work here in the UK.

NearlChristmas · 01/11/2022 21:32

He's had a what!

He's the reason we all have better immunity thanks to the jabs though.... this really important fact has just been forgotten about.

Scientists invented the vaccines and management consultants worked round the clock to get the booking technology rolled out, NHS and volunteers did the jabbing. Matt was busy shagging his colleague.

Changemyname1000x · 01/11/2022 21:48

He's doing it because he's a backbencher and isn't returning and may even lose his seat in near future. He gets paid to do this show snd if he's lucky he'll get future TV gigs like Ed Balls. It's purely a career move. Most of them are in it for the ego.

Hai2012 · 01/11/2022 21:50

Saw his tiktok earlier about being dyslexic and wanting to screen all kids for it. It's a good idea. But he looked a bit odd, didn't seem "right"

PinkPupZ · 01/11/2022 21:52

I reckon he wants to go into TV or presenting. He is super ambitious for it.

Frankensteinisamonster · 01/11/2022 21:52

When Rishi won leadership and was doing the hand shake thing outside no ten Hancock was there and Rishi totally blanked him, shook the hand of the person either side. It was very awkward. So I guess Hancock knows he’s no career left so is thinking he may as well. He’s fuck all left to loose.

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 01/11/2022 21:53

Didn’t go well for Lembit - just saying….

Justgetitoverwith · 01/11/2022 21:53

He must've had a breakdown. We all thought the world was ending and he was responsible for the cornerstone of how we dealt with it in our country.... the stress alone must have done some damage surely....

Rainsdropskeepfalling · 01/11/2022 21:54

He's a bare faced lier. He made up numbers. He has an over inflated value of self to the extent of being comical. I don't suppose he liked the way Rishi avoided him.

I don't think he's had a breakdown - he thinks this will advance him. Meanwhile his constituents want him to take action over buses being cancelled, kids can't get to school etc. He doesn't care

cavily1806 · 01/11/2022 21:56

Capitalising on his small amount of fame before tories are hopefully gone for 100+ years

Did Nadine Dorries also have a breakdown or what? Why was she allowed but he isn't? Not that I like the man but it's clear as day he's being treated completely differently compared to a colleague who did the same thing.

She wasnt 'allowed' and there was uproar when she did it too and she lost the whip and was hugely criticised. He's not being treated any differently to her

I can't believe you typed that with a straight face.

Ditto and my FIL who died in a care home where another 16 died a week later would definitely say the same.

Quirkyme · 01/11/2022 23:05

He's a CLOWN.

OneFrenchEgg · 02/11/2022 06:50

I thought the way Rishi blanked him was unpleasant. We all have to be polite in the work place and it wasn't something I respected Rishi for.
I think Matt H is daft for doing this but I also think he's having some sort of crisis.
I think it's weird Boy George is going on (especially as doesn't he have a conviction for false imprisonment? Have I made that up?) and Mike T is a bit daft to do it.

TippermostToppermostHigh · 02/11/2022 06:54

he secured us shares in enough vaccines to make most of the population safe

Wasn't that Kate Bingham?

Autumnisclose · 02/11/2022 06:59

I think he wants to be on TV as a 'celebrity' and sees this as a step to that. ie Ed Balls. He lacks the nicety of Ed Balls though so it won't happen..

DeborahVance · 02/11/2022 07:00

Lol at OP shilling for Matt Hancock. The man has no redeeming features, he's not going to make it as a sleb

Weefreetiffany · 02/11/2022 07:01

its pure ego from that odious creep. He seems to do anything except the job he’s paid to do on behalf of his constituents. First with the affair and now off to itv. Meanwhile the vulnerable keep on dying.

think the paps got the measure of him when they code worded him “wankcock”
