It was announced a few weeks ago that Matt Hancock would be joining “I’m a Celebrity, get me Out of Here!”, whilst still trying to remain as an MP. I was not even shocked when I read the headline. In fact, I almost laughed. Almost.

After all of this mess, Matt Hancock now thinks its appropriate to stay in his position and go out and get his five seconds of fame on a reality TV show. Hancock, the clue’s in the name by the way, is famous in the Tory party for … um … well he was caught on CCTV groping that woman. But as an MP? Hancock served as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, a fantastic job he did too! As we are now genuinely facing a nurse-strike over Christmas due to his failure after failure.

Speaking of this man’s failures, it’s also funny to mention that he actually stood in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election but withdrew shortly after the first ballot. The man is so self-confident he genuinely believed that he could be Prime Minister! Whilst that does not sound that hilarious after we have suffered through Boris, then Liz Truss and now Rishi (an article on his bullying saga will soon come), it was ridiculous at the time. He quickly withdrew as he saw the tides turning and potentially realised that he is actually incompetent after all. In the end, he began endorsing Boris Johnson, which allowed him to retain in his Cabinet in July 2019. Hancock served as Health Secretary during the COVID-19 pandemic and played a prominent role in the government’s response.

That’s right, Hancock played a key role in the government’s response to COVID. The “eat-out to help-out scheme”, the millions spent on failed tracking apps, the failure to supply proper protection when needed. This man is beyond a joke. He is just a walking failure.

But his arrogance knows no bounds, it would seem. Failure after failure after failure. And then it was announced that he would be going on a reality TV show. I have never watched this show, but I plan to this year simply because I want to see this shambles of a man fail again – except this time when he fails the entire country will not collapse. I hope.

But the audacity of an MP to think it’s appropriate and respectful to his constituents to go on a TV show whilst still “representing their best interests” is an absolute joke. The Tory party, in all fairness to them, were quick to remove the whip from him. This means that in the next election, if he hasn’t had the good grace and decency to step down before then, he will have to stand as an independent.

His excuse for joining the show? He wants people “to see the real me”. We’ve seen enough of the real you Matt, whether it was your public failures in office or your disgusting private life. We’ve seen enough and we’ve had enough.

If this isn’t some sort of joke and he intends to stay in Westminster – then the title of the show is quite apt in my opinion. Get him out of there.
