I'm disappointed in this whole Matt Hancock thing. Not the scandal or the lack of rebuke as those weren't exactly surprising but just the lack of the Carry-on Tory slapstick nonsense that we've come to expect. Where are the wild excuses about how he was just making sure his sense of taste was still working or how he was resuscitating her after she choked on one of Boris's election pledges. They've stuck to the nonsense names at least. Cummings, Johnson, Hancock and Coladangley. You couldn't pick better names for a farce.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Hopeless Hancock employs a " close associate" he's known for a long time, to a role being paid for by the pubic and then , it's alleged , has an affair with her, and we're supposed to just shrug our shoulders ? Welcome to the grubby world of Bojo and his Tory chums.
Even worse she accepted an unpaid position. The payments she eventually received seem fairly trivial but are we to understand she was advising Hancock out of the goodness of her lobbyist company owning heart? Inside and intimate contact with the government advising them to follow the vested interests of the people who pay her to influence government policy for their own selfish gains and people seem more worried about Hancock breaking social distancing rules. And people will still vote for them...

“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
That's the point.
