Hancock gone

A consensual (assuming) relationship with a colleague isn't usually gross misconduct unless there is an abuse of power/position.
Masturbation at your desk is.
I can't stand the man, but you can't sack a man for an extra marital affair.
You can sack him for gross incompetence
Breaking rules around awarding contracts
Breaking his own social distancing rules.

He's been forced to take the responsibility though as Johnson won't sack him.

 

why do I get the feeling they deserve each other?

The next 24 hours is going to be full of gossip. Apparently when told by The Sun they had footage he raced home to end his marriage, woke up his youngest kid and apparently they will now set up home together.

 

Someone was sacked at our place because they were caught in the back room with a colleague. Well actually both were

 

Sajid Javid named health sec.

 

The bit that grates with me is, Boris saying he apologised so thats the end of the matter. As if its up to Boris to say move on ,nothing to see here. But then again ,he`s got no opposition so he can say what he wants i suppose.

 

Tens of thousands of needless deaths in care homes. Resigned/Sacked...nope

Health contracts given to mates. Resigned/Sacked...nope

Quick shag in the office...History

Next year he'll be the darling of Strictly baking on ice out of here...and the Red Wall divots will lap it up...

 

The Whips will have taken soundings from the 1922 Committee of MPs and Central Office will have been in contact with the Chairs of Conservative associations, over the last few days. I think it would have been unanimous that he had to go.
He wasn't/isn't popular in the party,even though he has been in government for around 9 years. He is often described as arrogant, dismissive, rude, with both fellow MPs and journalists. The old saying of be nice to people on the way up,he never saw apply to him.
It's sad that he's gone on a technicality, rather than his incompetence, corruption and failure to do anything about the crisis in elderly Social Care,which he has been in charge of, for the past 5 years. Those of you with elderly relatives, will know only too well the problems families face.
Johnson has a cabinet of incompetents,who are never going to be a threat to him and act as a human shield, that's why he wasn't going to sack him. While ever the polls are good,Johnson is safe, when they turn next year, he's a goner.
Please don't feel sorry for Hancock, feel for his wife and kids,who still might have to put on the happy family act.

 

Very reassuring

 

With his background in money he should be more up for normality than Hancock was.

 

Tories scrambling to keep the resignation narrative to being about the social distancing (groping) aspect.

Not the corruption of how she got a job, her past lobbying activities and the fact her brother has made a mint in private health care under the Tories.

Oh and the clear ministerial code breaches, and employment law violations.

 

It's going to get a lot more interesting.

 

Bet there's more than him sh1ting themselves now... on whether or not they've been caught on camera..doing things they shouldn't...I wonder how many more cameras exist....Russia or China spying ....
My money is on The Russians getting the blame

 

He looks like it's a ransom video. Nobody pay it......



Seems serious between him and Gina.

 

Had to think wtf when first thing they think is blame China..

 

She sat on the board where they spoke about decisions made by Hancock and their effectiveness. Their relationship was not declared and they both had a vested interest to do so. The affair was highly relevant to his position.

 

Gets better.

Matt Hancock faces an investigation after using a personal email account instead of an official address during the pandemic in a breach of government guidelines.

Since March last year the former health secretary has routinely used a private account to conduct government business, concealing information from his own officials and potentially the public, according to documents obtained by The Sunday Times.

 

If it’s in works time and on works premises they can sack you if even if it’s your wife/partner your having Hank panky with. Please go back to the thread with numerous pages re this let’s not start all over again. Suffice to say, like MDG you’ve spectacularly missed the points if you think it ‘s simply about having an extra marital affair

 

Yesterday's news, today's chip paper, or more to come?

 

Hancock gone, Ismael gone, Murphy maybe, sack the board, typical Barnsley etc etc
