So someone not currently even in the shadow cabinet shagging someone who is no longer party leader, in the 70s, has what baring in the performance of the current government?

To call this a massive upgrade would be an understatement 

[Jon the Hat]

Boris looks a tit for not sacking him, so I can only assume there is a reason we don’t know about why Hancock lasted so long, and this was a way of ousting him without triggering whatever that reason is.

Remember when he pretended to cry with happiness about the vaccine on Good Morning Britain?

 

Feels like a lifetime ago

His resignation video was the most normal I’ve seen him, and that’s not saying much.

Not normal at all. In fact, still very much creepy and slimey. 

No apology, no remorse, no regret. It was all rehashed media-talk. It was as if someone had written the apology for him and he was just memorising it. There's no emotion in him and no real feeling of realising what he has done not only looks terrible, but should feel terrible. Let alone for the rest of the country but for his wife and kids. And then to use those kids as some kind of excuse to ask for privacy in the matter was quite low, too. 

 

It was very weak. Weak actions from a very weak and abnormal individual.

The resignation letter and reply are ****ing hideous. Not a shred of awareness from either and you'd be forgiven for thinking he'd stood down a hero. 

 

These people are ****ing dreadful

You know @Jon the Hat those contracts the government were supposedly using procurement teams for, not just sorting out their own mates with deals

Probably the most hated man in Leicester with his local lockdown BS. Good riddance!

Not quite sure he could steal that title from the odious Mr Vaz!

Hmm I think Vaz is a twat, but his election record shows rightly or wrongly he wasn't hated by his constituents.

I`m not sure he would have received the same support had the electorate been aware of his deviant behaviour prior to voting.

[Corky]

Very glad he's gone. His affair doesn't bother me- it's for him and his family. But he set the rules, lectured everyone on them then broke them. He had to go and how he wasn't sacked is another mark against the people in charge.

 

Read the room, as the saying goes.

He increased his vote and majority in most elections, including I 2017 a year after the male prostitute scandal broke. People were well aware he's a scumbag, and continued to vote him in.

The fact his wife is suffering long covid too, covid she is understood to have caught from him, and Covid he may well have caught from not following the rules when cheating on her. Disgusting behaviour.

I do find it a bit odd having a bit of slap and tickle straight in front of a security camera.

And Boris Johnson has given his tacit support to that kind of behaviour.
