Hancock's Alleged Almost Half Hour Past Curfew

[Fambo Number Mive]

Matt Hancock, who is less capable of being health secretary than a jug of cold piss, is accused of drinking in the House of Commons bar past curfew:

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has denied claims he broke the government's coronavirus drinking curfew by continuing to consume alcohol in the Commons bar after 10pm.

A senior Tory MP told the Mail on Sunday that Mr Hancock remained in the Smoking Room bar until at least 10.25pm on Monday, despite House Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle insisting Commons venues must abide by the same curfew as all English pubs.

The newspaper also reported Mr Hancock arrived at the bar just before a 9.40pm vote, ordered a glass of white wine and joked: "The drinks are on me - but Public Health England are in charge of the payment methodology so I will not be paying anything."

Mr Hancock's alleged reference to Public Health England came after he had addressed the Commons regarding the controversy over the organisation misplacing nearly 16,000 coronavirus test results.

If this is true it will be great, but he won't resign whatever happens. Ministers never resign if they have been caught out any more.

He may be the worst Health Secretary since Gazza employed Jimmy Five Bellies to plan the weekly shop but boy does he have a way with a snappy one-liner!

He was supposed to announce the work we are doing last Monday, so its due to happen tomorrow now. Comms team will be raging if this overshadows it again!

There's a strange pact that's been made within the cabinet, there have been several instances which could have led to a resignation in the past. Hancock's been involved in several of these instances. But no one is going anywhere. This seems like a play from a playbook.

They do whatever they fucking want. Apart from ever admit they've done anything wrong. If they do that Cummings will crush them.

And that's it.

Oh, er, naughty, you've combined metric and imperial, you might get an interdenominational...er, you know, from mixing the two measurement systems, a hangover of that kind.

"The drinks are on me - but Public Health England are in charge of the payment methodology so I will not be paying anything."

Steady on, Matt Hancock, mate. There is such a thing as TOO funny, you know.

To think that we have a thread on this very forum about the sorry state of British satire.

[olliebean]

They're doing it deliberately at this stage, aren't they? Just to normalise the idea that they can do what the fuck they like and get away with it.
