That doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to convert to being a Lib Dem or Labour supporter, because I'm a Conservative at heart (more so actually than some in the Government), but there's no doubt that Hancock became a liability the moment his actions were exposed and he had to go.
You've forgotten to mention Gove,Priti,Boris amongst others as liabilities on the good ship fleece the public.
