Matt Hancock not standing at next election

Well, Tyson Fury said he would never fight again....

There is sometimes a world of difference between what people say and what they actually do. Especially this lot!

Not surprised at all Blossoming. I wish this meant we won’t hear from him again, but he thinks he's a celebrity now and won’t go away.

I know it's been said many times before, by why is Johnson keeping the whip when he went way for three holidays?

Good question.

but there are still those who thought he should have been brought back as PM.

As Maw has said, I expect he realised that he was at the end of the road and thought he'd jump before he was pushed.

Arrogant man! No loss.

Just to put the record straight
The former Health Secretary's announcement that he would not seek re-election came only *after the officers of his local Tory Association held a vote of no confidence in him, ruling him 'not fit' to be their MP*

It seems iniquitous that after such a vote he is able to continue as the MP until the next election, doesn’t it?

Raw deal, sorry

He talks about dyslexic students getting a few deal from the education system. (Not in my school, they did their best) What a cheek ! Who has consistently underfunded schools so they are struggling to provide support ! Could it possibly be the Tories !

Just please, not on Strictly.

Hooray he won’t starve he thinks he’s a celebrity that every one loves …. Wrooong

Excellent news for his constituency!

I hope he answers some questions about dodgy PPE contracts and Covid in care homes first.

A non Tory!!

As he is our MP, I’m delighted! Perhaps the population may even consider an on Tory?
Oh is that a flying pig?

He’s a celebrity now, doncha’know.

It’s a good decision on his part.

Wonderful Private Eye cover with Hancock looking at a certain portion of a cow's derriere on a plat and the portion looking up at him screeching "it's an axxxxxlx".

Not surprised, this was obviously going to happen and so what?

Better to jump than wait to be pushed!
