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.

Excellent future Tory party leadership material is old “ Hanky”
Got all the moves.
Gina on the other hand should resign for her poor judgement lol

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?

A multi-millionairess nymphomaniac may turn some people on...

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"

The standard is set by the leader which is currently a very high bar because it is doubtful any one individual could have done more than Johnson himself.

Indeed
Sleeping with an adviser is a pre requisite for progression within the Tory Party.
It's amazing how (alleged) adultery is ok, killing 1000's of innocent people is ok, telling lies to your boss and the general public is ok and yet getting within 2 metres of a "friend" is what gets you the push.
What a crazy world we now live in !

Adultery in itself is not really a resigning matter - although it seems a lot of the current ruling party have loose morals compared to the standards they hold others to.

Affairs with people who work for you are more problematic - there is a potential power dynamic issue, and of course a potential conflict of interest.

Affairs with people you appoint to made up jobs and then breach laws with that you create.... even this corrupt government couldn't ignore that.

And of course in yet another amazing coincidence the brother of his mistress has been given another of those sweet sweet Tory government NHS contracts. I'd be tempted to have a lusty affair with Hancock if that's the ticket to millions too.

And still the blind defenders of the cult will refuse to hold them to account.

They say power is an afrodisiac - it must be how do either of those two get a shag?

Hanky intoxicatingly ravished her mesmorising tuity fruities as the care homes blazed

Bet Boris has been there to
