Calls mount for embattled Health Secretary’s resignation after alleged affair with adviser Gina Coladangelo
Estera Pyrek
Breaching social distancing rules, having an affair when he's supposedly working so so hard and the most important thing, cheating on his wife and not giving a hoot. Have some decency and resign!

Hide AdJohnson's past isn't squeaky clean, so he won't criticise this behaviour. It's just more of Tory - 'the rules don't apply to us'.
John Burnett
The only thing he’s sorry for is getting caught. Get them out of government once and for all.
Peter Donoghue
The question is will he get the benefit of the Cummings principle or ruthlessly hounded out of his job like everyone else was?
Dean Clements
He’s straight up made a mockery of the pandemic. To think we sit and listen to what guys like him are telling us to do - you can ram your restrictions.
Nan Mcewan
He's sorry – sorry he's been caught.

Hide AdI’d love to know how he can award government contracts to his friends without any scrutiny from anyone, but he has an affair and now his position is in jeopardy.
John Nelson
And he is telling all us to stay two metres apart, one rule for them and another for us.
Benjamin Paul
I’m sure he was just eating out to help out.

The fact they both chose to have an affair is their business. However, to hire and pay her with taxpayers funds to assist with the Covid programme is what’s galling. I mean the level of financial corruption is outstanding but it’s all being swept under the carpet as per usual. I do wonder what it will take for people to stop voting for these imbeciles.
Jane Bowie
Their private business. It's his political activity that affects us.
Frank Brown
He’s still got a bit to go to catch up with Boris.

Jacques Georgie Aitch
Well, his affair certainly isn't secret anymore! Surely, they must know cameras are everywhere in Westminster. I'm surprised there aren't more graphic pictures of various explicit positions, if they're this careless! They're abusing their position in public office. That's a sackable offence. I feel sorry for his wife and young children.
Robert Bon
The Tories, including cabinet ministers, say he hasn’t broken any rules. I think the respective spouses would argue differently.
Sharon Simpson
If he can betray his wife and kids with that level of deceit, he can easily do that to the people he is “trying “ to protect. He’s got to go.

Hide AdOK, Tory cabinet. Green light. You can officially do what you want. You're untouchable! First to get to homicide wins a third house in Cornwall.
Pauline McLaughlin
To the idiots saying who cares – did she have influence on the contracts that have been awarded? And it goes to his character – did she get her role because of the affair? Oeople should be bothered, that's why the UK is in such a mess, because people don't seem to care how corrupt or useless the government is. Perhaps he should have been concentrating on Covid – what a shower.
Gregor Armstrong
Hancock seems to get embroiled in scandal after scandal. He’s quite like Boris it seems. Don’t cheat – it’s not that hard.
David Johnston
A guest on Good Morning Britain said that Matt has done a fantastic job during the pandemic, like we should be grateful for over 150.000 deaths to Covid 19.

Hide AdLeast of his sins, 127k people lost their lives due to incompetent Tory governance.
Smith C Karen
His integrity is absolutely in question, as is hers. But he is a UK government minister.
Mark Gibson
He really is an absolute liability.
Catherine Doyle
Is this what being active in politics means?
Adam Trotter
I'm confused as to how a non-director executive only earns £15K a year. Wonder how much her staff were paid!
Harry Allison
Can't even follow his own rules.
