Matt Hancock….

But tell me. Where does Cummings come into this? I can't think of anyone who hates him more.

No MayBee, I am sure she is not.

Back into lockdown by September?

You are joking of course?

At least we are now going to have a health minister who is a favour of ‘opening up the country’
Sajid is very popular with the travel/ business industry at the moment. Good choice, Boris.

Kali2 good points. How secure are our government offices? Sounds like a good overhaul is needed.

Apparently power makes all men irresistible.

Can't remember where I read this.
One study involved photos with different info about the various men. They mixed up the info/images and got different results.

The attraction of MH doesn't come into it! I mentioned that I was flabbergasted to see people on Mumsnet commenting that they fancied him. It isn't the "attraction" (although it's hard to believe!) but the hypocrisy that is the problem.

My main issue is with the hypocrisy of him telling us all to distance when he clearly wasn't.

Yes, poor wife and even more so, poor kids.

For me now, the big question is 'how and why'- someone, some people, have been sitting on this footage for a while- before deciding to suddenly 'ou' it. Who knew, who sat on this for quite a while. And why- what was their motive? Money, revenge, politics- or ??? This footage did not suddenly appear out of the blue! Did Johnson know? Who else? And why was it suddenly released? So bizarre that it was 'sat upon' for quite a while. Blackmail?

It’s humiliating for both their spouses, and very hard on their children too that it’s come out in this way though, however they deal with the aftermath. I really hope it isn’t true that an 8 year old was woken up to be told by his dad that he was leaving, he will never forget that if it is, so little compassion for him.

Gina Coladangelo is a multi-millionaire so I don't think Hancock will be struggling to survive.

Her father "came out in her defense" yesterday as well so mo doubt he will bankroll if need be.

He's Oliver Tress, not Bonas (that's the business name).
Not really important as we know who you mean.

I think he should have allowed his wife the dignity of kicking him out instead of saying he had left her. The poor lady deserves some respect, and I agree GrannyGravy13, the press should leave her alone completely now, she has deserves our compassion, not being hounded. As does Mr Bonas for that matter.

I should think she’s glad he’s gone. Now she can take him to the cleaners.

They can’t all take the credit for the vaccination roll-out can they?
Especially as it largely achieved by Kate Bingham - not a government minister in sight

Exactly !! Thanks to the NHS and a huge army of volunteers.

It must contravene security protocols too I'd imagine, if it was inside a government building

Gina C has resigned and apparently she and MH are planning to move in together. That suggests that the relationship has been going on for much longer that most of us thought. Which further suggests that he's more two faced than even his supporters thought.

People have affairs, always have and always will.

My problem with Mr.Hancock is the hypocrisy of telling us all not to hug family and friends whilst he obviously was.

The Government are launching an enquiry into the filming and release of said film to the media. I imagine it contravenes many privacy laws?

I do hope that the press find some morals and stop hounding Mrs.Hancock, she has enough to deal with without having cameras pointed at her 24/7.

Well he must have some lucrative consultancies lined up to pay for his divorce/maintenance fees etc. He’s not going to afford those on his MP’s salary. Wonder what his constituents think of him?

They're well suited to each other; both liars, both untrustworthy and both hypocrites. The only casualties in this that I feel sorry for are their spouses and children.

Did anyone watch the BBC news last night? At the end it said 'Matt Hancock has said he has left his wife'
it was really quite

Sometimes I like things that people do, even though I do not like them. Sometimes I do not like things people do, even though I do like them. I tend to think this is the problem within politics. So many people are unwilling or indeed unable to do this.

Jeremy Hunt was extremely unpopular with those working in the NHS, he was in my opinion never in the frame to return to the cabinet as Health Minister.

Let’s see how Mr,Javid gets on in the post before denigrating him.

I believe the appointment of Savid Javid was a sensible one and i am glad that he has accepted it.

I fail to see the attraction of MH. Ages ago I remember reading on Mumsnet that many there fancied him and I was flabbergasted.

Yes.

Aren’t we concerned about appointing someone who could perhaps do the job?

Their fanciability doesn’t come into it.
