Hancock's half hour ! : Sat Jun 26, 2021 2:30 pm  

Should the health secretary resign after the recent pictures of him with his (very) special adviser ?

Should he resign for breaking his own social distancing rules or, should he (just as Cummings did) be allowed to please himself, with the full backing of Bojo.

Back in the day he would have gone, purely on poor moral standards but, today and especially with a boss who has 9 kids ?, all to different mothers, the moral agreement is long, long gone.
There are of course questions to be asked on how CCTV footage can be leaked but, is anyone bothered and more importantly, will he stay or, will he go ?

He should go just for putting me off my food. The problem is for Boris no member of the cabinet can do anything worse than he had done before, so he can’t take the high ground but also it is not for him to deem the matter closed.
The main problem is not him fondling his aides bottom it is that he broke his own rules and with regards to the scientist Ferguson who did the same he was adamant he did the right thing by resigning. The other problems for Hancock and Boris is their involvement in cronyism and the awarding of contracts to Tory donors and the brother of the one he fondles. With any previous administration he would have gone along with several others but this one who knows.
I do expect that we will shortly be presented with some positive news to try to divert the attention from this matter.

One,or both,participants could be under the control of a foreign state.
If Covid was a Chinese,man-made alternative to a nuclear bomb,what are foreign countries up to?
Russians already poison in England, when they fancy it.
Is this another honeytrap?

The last resignation,was a Tory.Carrington.After the Falklands invasion.
Honour,in this country,ain't no more.
We're a bit lost...possibly gone for ever.

Did Hancock last half an hour?

He should resign for not acknowledging the relationship with someone he appointed to a state-funded role and whose brother received govt contracts.

Given that Murdoch ran the story, he might even have to. Yay for democracy and even a basic semblance of integrity in public life.

Just popped up he is gone so much for being a genius as per Mogg.

Making the announcement now.

The interesting thing is that he resigned Johnson did not sack him. What does that say about our PM, do as I do not what I say I do.
How can he leave with his head held high with the string of failures throughout the pandemic resulting in unnecessary deaths and many suggestions of cronyism. This means Boris has lost his shield to blame for all his own errors.

I don't know why him appointing his mistress to a nothing government paid role isn't also an issue.

Meanwhile Michael Gove's wife has fired a warning shot too - he also apparently has taken up with an advisor.

Is it just me or does it never seem to matter what ministers do - they seem to be allowed to resign?

Over the years i can only seem to recall Gavin Williamson(Defence secretary) and around 2006 Charles Clarke actually been sacked.

When i say sacked - i mean properly sacked, not a reshuffle of cabinet or been asked to resign, like us mere mortals - "theres your P45 - bye bye"
