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

@Biscoffaddict

I bet he’d be a very enthusiastic shag.
You've just made me laugh for the first time in a long while. I was bordering on tears tonight until this thread. Thank you.

This thread has made me laugh. I think he’s done a decent job too, although my view may be warped by the fact that I also have a crush on him! I don’t know why, there is no logic to it. I have seen his creepy interview with that poor woman and seen his bizarre attempt at crying. I have said for ages that it must be Stockholm Syndrome. But the good things is that I am up to date with the regular briefings, speeches in parliament etc cos I want to watch him ... I have never been this well informed on politics! Glad I’m not alone in my weird crush!

Also made me laugh
Sorry to hear you were close to tears earlier

I think this lockdown is the worst

This thread has made me cry laughing 😂

@Unanananana

He has about as much charisma as a tin of beans.
Oi, my beans are offended!
Biscoffaddict · 03/02/2021 08:51

I’m glad this thread has cheered people up. Matt has just been on GMB from his home office/downstairs toilet, looking very handsome this morning.

Why does every Matt Hancock thread turn in to sex 🤣 last time someone said I bet he cries after sex and now someone else has said he would be an enthusiastic shag!!

I can’t cope 🤣🤣

wonkylegs · 03/02/2021 11:28

Eww just eww - he always reminds me of shiny 6th form prefect material. The one that's not actually very clever but wears a suit and is polite to the teachers so everyone things he's a swat anyway.

Can't think of him as a good health minister or even a fairly competent one.
I'm not sure many in the health service would praise him - my husband audibly groans every time he pops up on the tv.
He doesn't seem to be a malevolent MP unlike some of his colleagues but competent would be a stretch. I suspect he gets sympathy because the bar for MPs is very very low at the moment and it is a tough time but I'm not sure that's a free pass for being a bit shit and ineffectual.

Has anyone else seen this on Twitter this morning? Matt Hancock supposedly taking inspiration from the movie Contagion..

Eaumyword · 03/02/2021 13:21

Could have been worse, it could have been 28 Days Later!Confused
I must admit, I rewatched Contagion last April and found it eerily art imitating life.
I do agree, he's an eager beaver, a keen bean if you will Grin

Mudmudingloriousmud · 03/02/2021 13:37

I'm also feeling better about him, he's hit his stride, seems more confident.

whatisthislifesofullofcare · 03/02/2021 13:40

I wonder whether he’ll become Secretary of State for the NHS?

Riv12345 · 03/02/2021 13:44

Crying🤣🤣🤣

Yeah whenever there's a thread about Matt Hancock it does always turn into sex 🤣🤣

Now Boris on the other hand 🤔

hamstersarse · 03/02/2021 13:46

I happened upon him on Strava.
He's a fast runner.

I find him impossibly arrogant though. Completely unable to be humble or show any form of humility.

EmmanuelleMakro · 03/02/2021 13:46

He could jab me with his vaccine any day of the week

@Biscoffaddict

He stopped using it in 2016 - I've been meaning to look up when he became a minister....probably about that time. But I am pretty sure it is him....all in the right areas for where he lives.

Not judging...(much)...but not much kudos going on

Riv12345 · 03/02/2021 14:03

@EmmanuelleMakro

Me too 😝😝

That’s a shame!

He’s a fast runner. Wonder if he’s a fat lover?😂

Biscoffaddict · 03/02/2021 14:07

*fast!

Showchin2 · 03/02/2021 14:32

As a massive anti tory I have to confess that since I found out about him training as a jockey I've had a totally ridiculous and slightly disturbing fantasy where Hancock takes me from behind wearing only his jockey cap and rides me like one of his racehorses, with the occasional whip from his riding crop. Definitely Stockholm syndrome Grin

TheChineseChicken · 03/02/2021 14:39

Thank you for this thread Grin

I thought he was being characterised as a very fast chubby chaser!
