If they can leak a sex tape imagine what they'd do if really put under pressure.? As for the minister.. Getting a new incumbent now...? Not sure that's going to help the country. Let's wait till the wave is really high and hospitals filling up and England get knocked out by Germany and then pull the trigger. | |||

Slightly different though, she got the job due to brexit allegiance. My guess is that he won't even get voted in at his own constituency. West Suffolk is quite a homely place and after what he's done he'd be lucky to overturn the moral voters. | |||

"Not my words but... “In May 2020, Hancock claimed to have been left “speechless” by Prof Ferguson’s “extraordinary” behaviour, and said it had been right for him to resign as a government Sage adviser.” So Hancock should resign right? But another POV... “If Matt Hancock has had an affair that's shameful and I truly feel sorry for his wife and children. However, the suggestion marital infidelity would jeopardise a Secretary of State's career when the current Prime Minister is Boris Johnson is frankly absurd.” And... “Look I'm the very last person on Earth to defend Matt Hancock... but where is The Sun's front page from when Boris Johnson's affair with Arcuri or his current wife, Carrie, were revealed? Why the selective moral outrage?” But most importantly... “After Matt Hancock is accused of having an affair, lying to everyone and being 'fucking hopeless', bookies make him odds-on favourite for next PM.” "Didnt Hancock call for the police to be involved? Surreal levels of hypocrisy and answered with the sheep like mantra.. yeah but corbyn .. | |||

"This one really sums it up nicely... “The “private matter” line might have worked once. But, leaving aside the fact she had a tax payer funded role, the state has dictated every aspect of our private lives in the past year. Who we meet, hug, kiss, how relationships can be conducted, how we say goodbye to loved ones.”" The same Matt Hancock who told the Spectator in January that we would "cry freedom" as soon as those most vulnerable were vaccinated? | |||

"Apparently, Boris is standing by his Secretary of state, so you know his days are numbered. After all the uproar over Domminic Cummings last year and the impact his actions had on the rest of us obeying the rules, for the Health Secretary to have been found to be breaking his own guidlines on Social distancing, his position has become untenable." Yep it has but they will take a week to sort out the paperwork and use it when the infection rates are stupidly high. | |||

Not sure you need to insult someone because they are well educated do you? There's a lot of good folks churned out by Oxford and Cambridge and other universities. Doesn't make them bad people....

What's her hourly rate? I'm reckoning it'll be less than 4 hours for each of the "days" she's supposed to be working for that position. So maybe £250 per hour? Ten times minimum wage? And given that the job seems to mainly involve a few hours spent with Handcock, do we think she's actually doing any real work? Or is she just being given shit loads from the public purse to spend time with hand on Matt's cock? | |||

I'd be interested to know how many consultants are in govt or top 250 firms at 1000 a day. Or indeed non exec directors... 1000 a day is pretty standard for a non exec. 12 board meetings a year and an agm. None of that is unusual or especially frivolous. She could be working like a trojan and doing a fantastic job for all you know. The issue isn't so much her professionalism or how hard she works. It's the recruitment process and brother receiving Ppe contracts is surely a conflict of interest. | |||

"How many working class pms have we had in the last 50 years? Wilson? How do you define working class?
Have a flap cap,own a whippet and have dinner instead of tea?
Margaret Thatcher was a greengrocer's daughter and went to a state school.
Personally I'd say she was middle class
What made her middle class?
I know you were not asking me but for her age group, if her family were shopkeepers than I would have said middle class too"That's far too generalised a comment. I disagree my Mother owned a couple of shops. Borne out of hard work and council estate origins. | |||

So a shop keeper is one definition of middle class? "Sutely different people have different conceptions of class? Personally I'd say someone who was brought up with a parent who owned their own business and went to university in the 60s,would certainly qualify as middle class. I certainly dont recall her spouting too much of her working class origins. | |||

"Social class and where someone went to school should be as irrelevant in politics as race, gender and sexuality. There are many privileged, successful yet hard-working people who do great philanthropic work because they have values that go beyond self-interest and personal agendas. Sadly, they're thin on the ground in politics. Ability coupled with VALUES is what matters in successfully governing a country. We should all be voting for someone who firstly shares your personal values PLUS has the ability to deliver. One without the other is futile at best and dangerous at worst. Too many politicians in power have very dubious values, using that power completely for their own gain, backed by corrupt, self-serving media moguls who brain wash the masses to let them get away with it." Totally agree. Unfortunately those dubious values don't seem to surface until they have been elected | |||

"Totally agree. Unfortunately those dubious values don't seem to surface until they have been elected " They were pretty obvious in the current PM beforehand, which would cause me to be highly suspicious of any of his chosen ministers, alliances etc. | |||

"So apparently our health service leader thinks it’s ok to kiss people you don’t live with but a bride can’t dance with her dad in doors at her wedding! " He had better resign or be pushed, sickening hypocrisy. Some hilarious memes flying around of him though. Feel sorry for his poor wife | |||

"Apparently, Boris is standing by his Secretary of state, so you know his days are numbered. After all the uproar over Domminic Cummings last year and the impact his actions had on the rest of us obeying the rules, for the Health Secretary to have been found to be breaking his own guidlines on Social distancing, his position has become untenable." Blimey, I didn't think it would be that quick. Hancock quitting was inevitable | |||
