Surely Matt Hancock is not going to win

[Spck]

For the love of cheese - come on and vote mumsnet we cannot let Matt Hancock win I’m a celeb. He will be all over our tv about how the British public have forgiven him and this has been part of his redemption.

That says it all really doesn't it?

My MP doesn't respond to emails either. He makes a public appearance when its close to voting time or he can get his face on the front page of the local paper. That's our MPs though - you can't blame Matt for the lack of work our MPs are doing!

Ironically it was a question about additional help for Dyslexic students during exams - which he would claim as a subject close to his heart as a fellow Dyslexic.

@sashagabadon he gave PPE contracts to his mates, who wasted billions. He didn't lock down care homes and killed thousands and his 'rules' have affected many, many people more than you will ever know! He should never have been Health Secretary, he's definitely more qualified to eat kangaroo dick than he is to run the health service! There is NO excuse for his double standards and bad decision making during the pandemic. I also don't understand why people think it's OK for a serving MP to take unauthorised time off work to go and fuck about on a reality TV show! This country deserves much better from its politicians. But seems so many have such low standards so we get the shit show we deserve!

Personally, I think the majority of the voting public have kept him in, hoping he will think he's been 'forgiven' and will win, when actually, they've just given him a false sense of security. I really hope this is the case...

That said, he's hard to dislike.

He's done this for a reason, and one reason only..

@Shouldershoddy heartbreaking. I can't even imagine... I am so sorry xxx

I know all about the pandemic. I worked in ITU

weirdly… my colleagues like him too

That really surprises me as we are surrounded by generations of NHS staff and they wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
I suppose its down to morals rather than job roles.

It was on his watch, hos decisions, hes part accountable.

A subject close to his heart when it wins him a few votes in the jungle.

There was a pub landlord mate of his who did an unprompted interview on LBC.
Here is the link:

But surely it was the nhs making decisions to send old people back to their homes? And covid positive patients are still being sent home. A friend of mine had kidney disease,and was,sent home with covid. Two days later he was back in. He died from covid and he infected his wife. And this was earlier this year.

I worked in a care home and absolutely no one broke the rules ! We were all 100% committed to keeping our residents safe …having MH standing on the podium dishing out rules that he clearly ignored ie shagging his colleague .
I think your response is absolutely awful…!!!

Or he was desperately trying to find ppe in a global market where demand was unprecedented and the French government ( the usual supplier) had stopped allowing ppe to be exported and everyone was going nuts in the media screaming for ppe and interviewing nhs staff and care home managers in tears as they didn’t have enough. I lived through the pandemic too and have drawn my own conclusions as to what happened and I worked in a hospital throughout and can remember tracking the ppe flight from Turkey on the news as it was so desperately needed.
I haven’t forgotten, I just don’t blame MH!

@Shouldershoddy I’m not going to apologise for having an opinion.

🤷🏼‍♀️

I couldnt agree more with you. Disgusting.

Yip same here and his walk tonight on celebrity cyclone was outstanding 👏

What was the point of the interview? O'Brien had no interest in finding out the truth of what happened. None of us can judge accurately until everyone has been allowed to give a full account. Not just snippets controlled by a publicity obsessed dj looking for headlines.

I know how was boy George's kidnapping, assault and jail time swept under the carpet

@sashagabadon Exactly what you said.

He also fought for the drug Orkambi to be on the NHS to help Children and Young Adults that are suffering from Cystic Fibrosis when he was health minister.

everyone just wants to see the negative.

And yet somehow you've been able to resist their master plan!

And yes it was the senior nhs managers that advised the discharge of patients to care homes and there were no tests to give them. I remember a day at work when my trust carried out 50 tests and it was announced like a fantastic achievement. MH pushed for a rapid increase in testing capacity. He set the 100k target per day by end of April which did speed every thing along. He made mistakes but made good decisions too.
everyone has different experiences and different perspectives on what happened and what they think about it.

Yeah yeah yeah

BUT he's good at cleaning the dunny😁 so lets all vote for him... NOT

If ever Scotland needed another reason to vote for independence its this. Lets get the hell away from idiots who fall for this shite time and time again.

At the end of the day, Matt Hancock was making decisions based on evidence that was being given to him. He's no more of an expert than any of the Covid experts we see on this thread. NOBODY could have predicted how the pandemic panned out. Perhaps those slating him could try being an MP themselves?

@Tekkentime yeah basically.

Teach me to hate oh great one 😂

@OddsocksinmyDocs we would have to be willing to give massive sums of taxpayers money to our mates so I’ll pass on that one.
