Good that should at least stop endless repetitive arguments on here about it. The bloke is an idiot.

I can't remember who said it but I always liked this description of Matt Hancock... 'He's the bloke who looks like an estate agent your older sister only went out with because he had a car'

The fact remains that Bozo should have fired him but all these rats are in the same sack and live by the same unethical code.
Saddest of all is the likelihood that the Tories will win Batley & Spen on Thursday despite the electorate knowing exactly what colour of politician they are supporting. Sad times!

As TheBlackHorse often says, one step closer to clearing the swamp.

Well, then let them be lied to, cheated, robbed in every walk of their lives without a single complaint if that's what they support.

Still ends up shagging your sister though

You are right sidders but George Galloway will be the deciding factor there, why can't the lions awake from their slumber ?

I now see our dear leader is taking the credit for Hancock being replaced despite him saying the case was closed and he accepted his apology.

Are people really this happy to be consistently lied to?

Well their wives tell them they love them and are faithful every day...

Seriously though, most seem to cope by saying 'everyone lies' 'they're all the same', talking themselves into a world with zero-integrity when all they have to do is hold the liars accountable.

Sadly the quality and integrity of politicians has fallen to a low ebb. Perhaps this to down to MP’s being low paid in comparison with similar positions in private industry and also because of the media scrutiny, who in their right mind would want to subject themselves to such media attention with everyone just waiting for them to make a mistake - I fear the only people who will want the jobs are those with lots of money who just want power or; the lower educated who sadly are not capable of doing the job to the standard required.

Just my opinion to which I am entitled.

and that entitlement cannot be questioned....

Out of interest, if you're rating politicians by their education, what would you consider to be 'lower educated'? And what level of education qualifies as acceptable?

Not sure if politicians integrity has fallen or if it's just getting exposed more. Affairs have been a fact of life since marriage existed, deals to secure power/money for selfish reasons have too. More likely that it gets found out and revealed more in today's on line society. Also wonder how "pure" some of this who expose this are.

Maybe it’s down to the man at the top hiring people who’ve already been sacked once, keeping people in ***** positions he considers to be ‘effing useless’, ignoring egregious breaking of the ministerial code and tolerating and even encouraging cronyism and corruption?

Maybe it’s also down to the voters who keep voting those people in?

My MP is a highly, expensively educated barrister and he, like Matt Hancock, is effing useless.

Whatever the reason, the future’s not bright!
