Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

If the story is true, then he is merely imitating the example of Alexander "Boris" Johnson.

The actions of this twerp and world leaders at the G7 summit make 'social distancing' laughable. Re the G7 summit: set apart in 'official' photos then 'who gives a hoot' at the barbeque. Smh...

This quote, out of so many relevant points made, stood out to me:

God, it would be the most British thing ever if a minister who's been able to keep his job despite tens of thousands of people dying in care homes on his watch ends up losing it as a result of an extra-marital affair.

Well, yes, but that should have happened last year. And the same with Johnson.

Seen elsewhere

'While they vacillate, we vaccinate. While they jabber, we jab. While they delay, we tell our wives that the pressure is unbearable and they watch us leave in the morning and worry about us and think what a a hero we are and then we shag a colleague in front of a picture of queen.'

The article raises questions about who leaked the video, but it's not clear that "the video" was leaked: all it would have needed would be someone pointing a mobile 'phone at a cctv screen. As for Matt "Handsy"cock, not sure it was such a good idea to publish an article titled "Faith and Values in Public Life" on the Tory party website back in 2018:

And from the satirical website, Newsthump, comes this version of Macavity:

Hancockery, Hancockery, there’s no one like Hancockery
For he’s the one who sets the rules and makes of them a mockery
His hands across a lady’s arse would make CCTV stare
But when you call the Dept of Health – Hancockery is there!

Hancockery’s a ginger cad, he’s very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is smoothly free of thought, his head is highly domed;
His hands across your ladybumps very freely roamed.
He sways his head from side to side with an air of sweaty fright,
And when you think he’s half asleep you’re almost certainly right

He’s outwardly incompetent (and inwardly, they say)
And if his mistress wants a job then the rules all go away
But when the contract has been given, and billions have been spent
And rules sidelined or ignored, and regulations bent
Or when documents are missing and no-one seems to care
Ay, that’s the wonder of the thing! Hancockery’s still there!

I see a man who had an affair and corruptly passed money to the person they were shagging has supported another man who had an affair and corruptly passed money onto the person they were shagging.

I am glad Hancock has resigned, I hope his replacement, Sajid Javid, does a better job as Health Secretary.

I see a man who had an affair and corruptly passed money to the person they were shagging has supported another man who had an affair and corruptly passed money onto the person they were shagging.

How woke.
What's wrong with:

I see a man who had an affair and corruptly passed money to the person he was shagging has supported another man who had an affair and corruptly passed money onto the person he was shagging  ...?

It would seem that most people commenting on this ... err ... affair are primarily concerned with the lack of a two metre space between this couple. Much as I am pleased to see a fissure in the fabric of this wretched government, I am more concerned about the actions of a (I presume) civil servant who acquired the image concerned and then passed it onto the gutter press.
