New World Order - Politics 2021

[smalex]

Yeah, I was just thinking that. Johnson can't really pull the moral high ground on this.

[sally maclennane]

Oh for sure but on the back of the Cummings' leak, it looks like a convenient way to get him out.

His poor wife though.

[emma_p]

It’s pretty astonishing that they got cctv footage from inside the department of health!

[sally maclennane]

Well I suppose lots of offices have CCTV and I'm sure there's no shortage of people happy to leak stuff if it suits their end game.

[rosy]

I dunno, it's not like serial philanderer Johnson is going to get on his high horse about an extra-marital affair. How does Hancock find one woman who can stand him, let alone two?!

Astonishing!

[Turtle Bean]

How can he possibly have time for an affair during a pandemic?

[lazzbo]

When you're incompetent, it's amazing what you can squeeze in, Beanoid.

[Turtle Bean]

Yes. Stupid question really.

[rosy]

Well. Bonking Matt Wancock is a “deep understanding of the mechanics of government”

[Annabella]

I feel sorry for his wife - but who knows how their marriage is/was anyway. As Boris is a serial philanderer he would not bat an eye at this - unless he wants to use it for his own ends and use it as an excuse to get rid of Hancock - but I do think people would see through that as Boris is the biggest public cheater in parliament.

[smalex]

Well, even if their marriage is in the doldrums, I doubt she deserves to be publicly humiliated.

[Annabella]

Yes I agree with that I didn't mean she deserves public humiliation. Unfortunately though sometimes being married to someone in the public eye (either sex) does put you more at risk of that. Also the children do not deserve this either.

[emma_p]

A friend is friends with his wife and I think she’s had a pretty rough couple of years already. And yes his kids certainly don’t deserve this.

[Pippedydeadeye]

He’s really pissed someone off, hasn’t he?

[emma_p]

For sure. The internal cctv leak will trigger an investigation.

[Ruby]

Must be Cummings-adjacent I reckon.

[rosy]

This is hysterical (needs sound on).

[Lily]

Blimey! I thought they might just have been friends and he'd been giving her a hug and then I saw the photo. Ming. I feel very sorry for her husband and his wife, poor sods.

What a knob. He's so 2D, snogging him must be like snogging a poster.

[rosy]

He’s resigned, which he should have done yesterday.

[Morganna]

So it will be Gove as Health secretary? He and Murdoch are mates, aren't they?

So farewell, NHS, and all who rely on you
