For his many faults Hancock was very much putting the Covid situation first and supported maintaining legislation around masks and distancing. The story breaks, he resigns and, lo and behold, is not replaced by someone with the same mindset but by a minister who wants to re-open the country fully as soon as possible.
Almost as if it was planned... |  |

I saw someone claim that it was to gift Labour the Batley and Spen by election so the Tories would have to continue facing Starmer, presumably instead of a political heavyweight like Rebecca Long Bailey or Richard Burgon. |
That’s ridiculous.
Although there’s little doubt that Starmer and the Labour right, in particular, are an absolute godsend to the Tories. They’ll drive Labour into the ground as long as it takes progressive politics out of the equation and protects their place on the left side of the Establishment. |  |

Two people getting a divorce shouldn't be news, no. But what about two swamp creatures like Gove and Vine? |
They are the ba**en***g of the tory party. |  |

Jeremy Hunt, having previously been Health Secretary, would have seemed a more logical choice to hit the ground running. |
Rhyming-Slang would have provoked open revolt from NHS staff who'd view the appointment of the bloke who pushed through the 2012 Health & Social Care act(which, amongst other things split and privatised NHS procurement making PPE acquisition even harder), allowed student nurse bursaries to be removed, inspired the first ever strike by junior doctors, cancelled NICE research into safe staffing levels etc, etc, etc as something of a slap in the face.
Followed by a kick in the stones. [Post edited 4 Jul 2021 18:52]

Was he the Health Secretary that was in charge when all the stuff stockpiled for pandemics was run down? |
Yep. | |

1. A highly responsible private sector security guard at the DHSC's offices in Victoria Street reviews security camera footage.
2. He sees the snog.
3. He contacts the newspapers.
4. He sends them a copy of the footage.
5. He pockets a wodge of cash.
6. The government fails to learn a lesson about the private sector. |
7. Again. | |

Sticking your tongue down a prostitute's throat paid for by tax payers is not supporting social distancing rules as I understand it - I suspect he was booted out because most people think using tax payers' money to procure sex for a few years whilst deceiving your wife and the British people is not wholly in line with public service. | |

Starmer isn’t even Labour right. He’s soft left. |  |

I didn’t say he was. And so far he’s been absolutely nothing on his own merits. | |
