HOPELESS LOVE RAT BACKS HOPELESS LOVE RAT
Minister all hands as he snogs aide
COCO Hancock cheats on his wife by kissing his posh aide.. but that’s just fine by Bozo Johnson, who’s no stranger to such shenanigans.
MATT “Coco” Hancock was clinging to his job last night despite being caught snogging his aide while the rest of us were barred from hugging loved ones.
The Health Secretary was captured on CCTV getting hands on as he kissed millionaire lobbyist Gina Coladangelo, 43, inside Whitehall.
Coco, 42, groped her bottom during the smooch behind the back of his wife of 15 years Martha – the mum of his three children.
It happened on May 6 when rules said people should continue to socially distance from anyone not in their household or bubble.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson – who was alleged to have had a four-year affair with US pole-dancing businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri while Mayor of London – yesterday refused to take action on the breach.
The PM’S spokesman said: “The Prime Minister has accepted the Health Secretary’s apology and considers the matter closed.’’
Gina – a mum of three married to
Oliver Bonas store founder Olly Tress
– is a university pal of the politician.
He appointed her to a non-exec
Department of
Health role last year
– on around £15,000 for 15 days a year.
Labour and the Lib Dems branded Hancock a “hypocrite” who should be fired for ignoring his own “hands, face, space” mantra.
A Labour Party spokesman said: “Matt Hancock appears to have been caught breaking the laws he created while having a secret relationship with an aide he appointed to a taxpayer-funded job.
“The Prime Minister recently described him as ‘useless’ – the fact that even now he still can’t sack him shows how spineless he is.’’
Furious Brits blasted the Health Secretary on social media, accusing him of “shameful hypocrisy” and demanded his resignation.
One wrote: “One law for the MPS – another for us ordinary people. Not allowed to hug your relatives. While he’s cheating.’’
Last night Coco insisted he would stay in the job. He said: “I accept that I breached the social distancing guidance in these circumstances. I have let people down and am very sorry.
“I remain focused on working to get the country out of this pandemic.’’
Hancock’s 44-year-old wife looked glum as she left their home yesterday.
The PM considers this matter closed
