The Sun's friday front page wasn't available on either 'tomorrow's papers today' or the BBC last night.
Same again tonight so I wonder what further revelations they have for Saturday.
Here's the link to tomorrow's papers today - everything from the Star through to the FT but no Sun and no love for little matty.

As entertaining as this is both of them are married. Their poor spouses and kids have to live with this crap.

Their free face mask also made me chuckle 🙂
Christ, this country is in one hell of a mess.
Led by donkeys, indeed.
Ok lets just be honest.... little Matty Handjob has given some hope to us older, balder, talentless sad blokes that maybe if we can cheat/lie our way forward we just might be able to "pull"
Got me coat and already ****ed off.
This is bad for Bojo. He needs to sack Hancock but if he does then he needs to sack himself 5 times over.
Also sacking means Hancock loses his job as Health Secretary, I wish it meant losing his job as an MP.
Jo Maugham passed papers to the serious fraud office today detailing Hancock, Patel and some other ministers connections to dodgy PPE deals. Apparently having trouble getting any papers to cover it.
Against my better judgement, I watched Kimbers' video.
Is it staged / has he been stitched up? That looked about as passionate and lustful as a Second Coffee Of The Morning shite.
This is simply Murdoch, through the Sun, showing that he has power.
Handcock is a universally hated politician, so embarrasing him in this way will do nothing to harm the government.
It'll be written and talked about all weekend, every paper will say he has to go. And Murdoch's rags will trumpet on about how even the left wing papers agree with them.
Even if Johnson says that Hancock had his support, he will have to go as that's what Murdoch wants, not to get Hancock, or damage the Government, but to show off his firepower.
I imagine there are a few senior members of the ENP government who are shitting themselves now it is apparent that Cumstains still has people on the inside.
Very amusing, but a strange way to run a country.
Deary me, at she showed a bit of austerity whereas he shimmies like he had a trickle down.
As entertaining as this is both of them are married. Their poor spouses and kids have to live with this crap.
Little Matty and Gorgeous Gina should have thought of that. That is their responsibility.

Yep they’re grown ups.
Hmmm what was it £850 for breaking the covid rules with an increase for persistent offences.
It’s not entertaining it blatantly shows ‘again’ how it’s one rule for us one rule for them.
How many times will you hear the ‘matter is now closed’ from the PM 🙂
Wait for the "want to be with my family" should have been doing that not her earlier or your job.
No sympathy for the man but the camera position, the leaking etc....all seems very set up, not just Cummings revenge.
In May 2020, the health secretary claimed to have been left “speechless” by Prof Ferguson’s “extraordinary” behaviour, and said it had been right for him to resign as a government Sage adviser.
Although Scotland Yard decided not to prosecute Prof Ferguson, Mr Hancock had said he would back the police if they wanted to take action over the matter.
“It’s extraordinary. I don’t understand,” the minister told Sky News on Prof Ferguson’s lockdown trysts. He added: “I think the social distancing rules are very important and people should follow them.”
The Independent - Hancock on Ferguson’s affair
Well I’m sure Hancock will follow his own advice
Marina Hyde’s take on it...
Matt Hancock, the one-time sex cop now busted for a dodgy clinch
You may want to recalibrate your dry heave limits too. Apparently Gove has been ‘busy’ too
Starmy Army's keeping embarrassingly quiet.

Probably because marital infidelity is surprisingly common.
And while the Sun is drip feeding pics and videos, the media and the public aren't focused on Labour's call yesterday for a review of whether influence of cronyism has resulted from the relationship.
Usually there's a distinct line between people's private life and work, but obviously there's a fair bit of blurring here due to:
1) Him giving her a taxpayer-funded role without declaring the relationship (especially when there's already questions about him being dodgy in giving handouts to friends and family).
2) Him being in charge of covid regulations, which at the time said that you shouldn't go within two metres of someone that's not part of your household, or in your support bubble, unless you're wearing a mask.
3) Him previously declaring that infidelity is no excuse for breaching covid guidelines, and that its right to resign when caught doing so.
It's less of the affair that's the issue, rather the dodginess and corruption surrounding it.
I feel so sorry for his wife and kids - especially his kids though.

I feel sorry for her husband - imagine how it feels being passed over for Matt Hancock.
I feel so sorry for his wife and kids – especially his kids though.
I feel a lot more sorry for the families of the tens of thousands of people who he and his incompetence and corrupt practices have effectively killed unnecessarily. I'm sure his kids will go on to live a cushy, privileged existence and grow up to be just like daddy.

This.
But that also means he won’t go. No one in this government can be sacked for jobs for mates, or contracts for contacts… because then where does it end? They are all dodgy and in it to make sure more of our money ends up in their circles.
Shall we not bother making fun of him because he is short?
Being short is not a character deficiency.
Plenty of other stuff you can go after with him.

Indeed. I couldn’t care less who Matty is shagging, but this just typifies the shameless ‘jobs and contracts for the boys (and girls)’ attitude that seems so prevalent with this lot, with a side-helping of ‘one rule for us, another for the rest of you’
Boris won’t sack him, because he doesn’t sack anyone, and he won’t resign because none of them do.
They just do what the hell they like with total impunity
I've been impressed the press are going for the best way of putting pressure on him, hypocrisy over social distancing, probably the best reason people WGAS. Affairs and dodgy dealings don't cut it anymore.

You are assuming he wasn't in on the scam.

And up their poll ratings go. It is clear that a lot of people just don't care which is exactly why they can do what they like. They will be interested in the affair from a gossip point of view but have no interest in political dodgy dealings.
Anecdotally, I had an hour in the pub last night and have never heard such class conscious diatribes down there in a decade, and it wasn't even me. There is hope yet.

It's all fair game when someone is a hypocritical shit. **** him.
Anyway, I want him to stay and make Johnson sack him. Then the obvious question is:
"So, Prime Minister, what are you sacking him for?"
He can't answer that because whatever he says someone else is thus implicated.
1. Being a philanderer. He can't, because he's a serial adulterer too. And Gove has most likely been giving 'Little Michael' a run out where he shouldn't too.
2. Breaking covid regulations. Why didn't you sack Cummings and Jenrick?
3. Being corrupt. Basically all of them are in that one but Jenrick, Truss and Cummings are all well documented crooks.
4. Being shit at his job. Again all of them, but Truss, Patel and Raab deserve a particular mention.
It really is rather lovely if Johnson has to sack him.
You are assuming he wasn’t in on the scam.
Precisely. If she's going to drop her knickers so her brother can get a load of cash, then I doubt they'd go for it without his go ahead.
Look at the situation. They have clearly targeted Dodgy Little Matty. She's turned a trick or two and it has netted millions. Good work if you can get it.

You know what I think would be the end for him? If any of the tabloids print that photo of the Queen sat completely alone at Prince Philip's funeral side-by-side with a CCTV still of Hancock & Coladangelo, accompanied by an appropriate headline. Tabloidism at its finest, but put to good use for once.

I think it's possible to be horrified about how many unnecessary deaths he and his government has caused, and feel sympathy for children who've had photos and videos of their dad groping and snogging another woman plastered all over the press and social media. I don't think kids having all they require financially/materially makes them completely immune to any other woes.
Less sympathy for the wife, admittedly, as she married him in the first place...

That is vindictive.
What's the number for Bignewscorp......
I didn’t know who this was, but Mrs Binners informs me that she’s a TV presenter.
This is a top notch rant, reflecting the thoughts of many people, I’d imagine
I didn’t know who this was
You don't watch Loose Women, unbelievable
@dannyh You are making fun of short people. There might be short people reading this thread. Matt Hancock is definitely not reading this thread.
run of the mill second hand car salesman
He hasn't the ability.
against government rules.
Rules are for other people, just applying that government rule.
I appreciate the point, but can I please just try something on you here?
Hancock has been a snappy, spiteful shit with numerous people over the last couple of years. I have a strong suspicion that some of this stems from 'short man syndrome'. As such it is a defining part of his very unappealing character.
I'm not making fun of short people. I'm making fun of a jumped up prat who is probably 'compensating' for his own perceived lack of height. As such, I believe it is fair game to attack him along that line.
There are myriad short people who I admire and respect. There is no way I'd ever bring up their stature. However, I despise Hancock and his ilk, so I don't care.
For balance:
Gove looks like a rubber toy. Johnson is fat and likely has a drink problem. Truss looks like a bunny boiler. Patel has got a massive arse. Raab has that ridiculous forehead vein and is very sweaty.
All of those things might offend someone else 'out there', but, especially seeing as how the public don't seem to give a shit about multibillion pound fraud, any way* of mocking these shitbags and ridiculing them is fair game.
If people give Johnson the boot because he is a fat drunk, then fine.
*There are a few places where no one should go.
He's 5'10". He an arse not a short-arse.
Dogbone (a Short Arse)
And Gove has most likely been giving ‘Little Michael’ a run out where he shouldn’t too.
Torn between laughing out loud and trying to contain the little bit of sick that the mental image gave me.
First tory MP to seek his resignation, interesti gly took the famy values angle, which obviously, Johnson is weak on himself
The Conservative MP for North Norfolk, Duncan Baker, on Saturday called for British health secretary, Matt Hancock, to quit, telling the Eastern Daily Press that politicians in high public office should act with “appropriate morals and ethics”.
“Matt Hancock, on a number of measures, has fallen short of that. As an MP who is a devoted family man, married for 12 years with a wonderful wife and children, standards and integrity matter to me,”
‘short man syndrome’. As such it is a defining part of his very unappealing character.
I’m not making fun of short people.
ctk has a good point yet you persist, Dannyh. It's stereotyping and prejudice. It's a source of discrimination.
Mogrim was jumped on for the word "exotic sounding" (which went over my head) but when he was picked up he distanced himself from interpretations he hadn't intended. You on the contrary are doubling down on your prejudices against short people which are not backed up by anything more serious than the Daily Mail.
https://psychologenie.com/short-man-syndrome
Hancock personifies many undesireable traits but not being 5 foot 10 isn't one of them.
It's perhaps sad that it took a couple doing something people who fancy each other do that doen't concern me/us to draw light to far more serious issues such as nepotism, abuse of power, breaking ministerial code, breeaking of Covid laws... .
