Just been listening to his session in HoC (whilst pottering and putting shopping away,didn't sit and watch, not that sad😉) and though I know won't be popular,found him reassuring in his style,and in what he's saying.
To be health secretary in worst pandemic in generations will test,l anyone,and anyone would make mistakes,so I'm not excusing that: However,if he has to be accountable for those,which I agree he does,he also deserves the credit when things go well, mainly the vaccine rollout,and the early ordering,which is going so well,and giving so much hope,and protection,to many

I still agree with Charlie Brooker who said 'he looks like your sister's first boyfriend with a car' Grin

@Biscoffaddict

He’s very sexy I think Blush
Haha, really? He always reminds me of the type of kid in the playground that everyone avoids as he's a bit of a prat. The "my Dad will beat up your Dad" kind of person.

I've always said I think he does well.

I trust him more than the others. He has a very calm manner about him and always sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

A few times he's said he doesn't but will find the answer and get back to people.

CoronaIsWatching · 02/02/2021 17:21

Well yes he's probably the best looking out of the cabinet, though I quite like Grant Schapps too

WalrusWife · 02/02/2021 17:22

Envy not envy

InterfectoremVulpes · 02/02/2021 17:27

Personally,it's Maddie explaining it all, but I think that's not odd at all😊👍

Shes way too smiley and cheerful, either on drugs or about to go postal according to my DH Grin

He’s no JVT Blush

@Davros

Hijacking here. Gavin Williamson reminds me of Alan Bennett, he sounds just like him Grin
I think you need to listen again. This time,carefully Hmm

Matt Hancock looks like he's only just out of short trousers. 'Trying his best' is a pretty low bar for a Secretary of State for Health.

Unanananana · 02/02/2021 17:34

He has about as much charisma as a tin of beans.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 02/02/2021 17:38

Those of you who fancy him might want to read this twitter thread. If this doesn't cure you nothing will Grin

He's a wally, but not an arrogant psychopath like many of them. (That's how low we've sunk).

Yes, he passes for a human being, it’s a pretty low bar, isn’t it.

Personally I lost any scrap of respect I may have had for him when he refused to condemn Dominic Cummings’s behaviour. If he had an ounce of integrity he would have done so, but preferred to go along with what the ‘big boys’ told him to do

Hate to disagree,but "on drugs or about to flip" is what Bing's mate Flop has on his business cards😉

I forgot the Charlie Brooker thing 😂.

Those of you who fancy him, I seriously think you may have Stockholm syndrome GrinGrin

Riv12345 · 02/02/2021 18:09

I would 😂😂

YogaLite · 02/02/2021 18:19

I liked him right from the start, apart from the DC fail. I expect had he not toe-d the line back then his head would have rolled.

I am glad he is still there, I like him for his calm unflappable manner and the fact that he never appears at conflict with his co-presenters.

He probably doesn't get much sleep at night but somehow still looks presentable.

Biscoffaddict · 02/02/2021 18:20

I bet he’d be a very enthusiastic shag.

PickAChew · 02/02/2021 18:23

I suspect he'd fist pump at climax.

Lemons1571 · 02/02/2021 18:23

Eewwwwww. I didn’t like all that Don’t Kill Granny stuff he did in the briefings.

Amrapaali · 02/02/2021 18:28

I found a new level of respect for him when he shut down Robert the Rambler Grin

SymphonyofShadows · 02/02/2021 18:31

I like him slightly more since I read that he didn’t want to use a US firm to produce the Oxford vaccine due to his worries about Trump, so Oxford ended up partnering AZ (if true). I still think he’s a twat in most ways though.

MadameBlobby · 02/02/2021 18:32

He reminds me of a slapped cock
Not I’ve seen a slapped coconut he has that red slapped cock face
