It's a bit North Korea innit?

Just imagine if this was happening under a Labour government!

I quite like it.

You would.

Heh, get in there Matt. Absolute ledge.

Good to see the classic hand-on-arse manoeuvre from school discos days making a comeback.

The first pic I saw of Hand-cocks “aide” I thought: blimey, Mucky Matt’s copped off with Konnie Huq - Brooker’s gonna be gutted.

At least she looks semi complicit in this pic.

How on Earth have these been leaked? Hancock doesn’t have any enemies with links to dodgy spy firms, does he?

Very few people will have access to the department's CCTV. But I reckon the inquisition should start with this board's very own security camera expert.

She’s fit, fair play to him

He's got to resign now, surely? And yet, with this government I dont feel certain he will.

Of course he won’t.

Probably issue an apology for breaching the No Hugging rule and move on.

In normal circumstances in a normal government he'd have been toast ages ago.

However, this is not a normal government. This one make's the 90's Tory sleazebags look like utter amateurs. He'll stay in post as Johnson can hardly sack him on the basis of some form of moral compass given his track record in this department.

Aside from being caught knocking one out over a portrait of the Queen, there's not much a Minister needs to do anymore to feel compelled to resign. And even then they'd probably try and claim they'd simply been overcome by a waive of intense patriotism.

This is probably the most impressive thing he’s done in office

If anything it will increase his credibility among Tories, as even their staunchest supporters know he’s useless at his job

If this was any other government this would be a resignation matter

Well, no actually. Politicians off all parties have been having affairs for years and while personally embarrassing, it hasn't been a resignation matter for a long time, despite what you stuffy boomers think.

At least she will have been double jabbed

At the time this happened, social distancing was the thing, as it still is, and Hancock isnt practising what he preaches.

In past times, this was a resigning matter, but now, it wont be now, as standards amongst those who rule over us have fallen .

I wouldn’t be so sure.

He’s not really 42, is he? That’s got to be his stage age.

CON +2

The resigning matter is that he gave a job to the woman he is secretly banging. Boris did similar with Ms Arcuri.

Yeah, nobody cares about him banging some broad. What should be a resignation matter is him giving a job to her in the first place. But Boris can't sack him for that because... well, reasons.
