1. As someone tweeted, he's ticking all the boxes to be the next PM !

2. My Farcebook has been nothing but Matt Hancock jokes for 24 hrs

Twitter is predictably more angry. And to be honest that's kinda where I am with this.

We're back to where we were with Dominic Cummings last year. Blatant abuse of power and double standards, and a Prime Minister too weak to do anything about it.

3. It is ridiculous

I am enjoying his humiliation, but to be honest, when you think of everything everyone has been through - him breaking law and getting away with it is an absolute insult. One has to wonder what you would have to do to get sacked from the Johnson cabinet?

4. It's especially galling

When you think of all the people who've been unable to see their partners during this time because of Matt Hancock's rules prohibiting couples who aren't cohabiting from being together.

It's not just his wife whose relationships and emotional well being has been severely damaged by Mr do as I say, not as I do.

5. God help me, but I found myself agreeing with The Sun's political editor

who pointed out that a relationship with an aide is something that should have been public knowledge and either OKed or one or both should have already resigned. It should not have been covered up, which the "social distancing rules" breaking has diverted attention from.
