The Sun has an old fashioned ‘minister-caught-having-an-affair’ scoop on its front page today – and the politician in the frame is Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
He cheated on his wife with Gina Coladangelo, 43, who he hired last year with taxpayers’ money, as Covid gripped Britain.
Mr Hancock, 42, and millionaire lobbyist Gina were caught on camera in a steamy clinch at his Whitehall office.
Whistleblowers revealed the Health Secretary had been spotted cheating on his wife of 15 years with married Ms Coladangelo.
He was seen kissing her at the Department of Health’s London HQ during office hours last month as the mutant strain began spreading.
A Whitehall whistleblower told The Sun it was “shocking that Mr Hancock was having an affair in the middle of a pandemic with an adviser and friend he used public money to hire”.
Last night, a friend of the Health Secretary said: “He has no comment on personal matters. No rules have been broken.”
Mr Hancock was pictured embracing his aide. The image was from just after 3pm on May 6 — as the rest of Westminster was engrossed by the local elections.
He is seen in his distinctive ninth-floor office inside the sprawling Department of Health building, which is a stone’s throw from the Houses of Parliament.
During the pandemic, the office has provided the backdrop to his Zoom appearances on TV — including the Andrew Marr Show.
Mr Hancock is seen checking the corridor is clear before closing the door and then leaning on it to ensure he cannot be disturbed.
Ms Coladangelo then walks towards him and the pair begin their passionate embrace.
According to a whistleblower, who used to work at the department, the pair have regularly been caught in clinches together.
The source said: “They have tried to keep it a secret but everyone knows what goes on inside a building like that.
“I’m just amazed he was so brazen about it as he was the Secretary of State.
“It has also shocked people because he put her in such an important, publicly-funded role and this is what they get up to in office hours when everyone else is working hard.”
Worth reading in full.
On the face of it, this actually strengthens Hancock’s position – already pretty strong after Dominic Cummings’ singled him out for criticism. After all, Boris can hardly sack a Cabinet minister for having an affair without looking like a complete hypocrite. Nevertheless, there are some questions that Hancock will have to answer.
- Was the Health Secretary having an affair with Gina Coladangelo before she became a paid, non-executive director at the DHSS?
- Were the correct procedures followed before she was hired? Non-exec positions at Government departments aren’t usually advertised and Hancock wouldn’t be the first Secretary of State to appoint a crony to the board of his department. But they do have to be properly vetted – and interviewed – by the Civil Service. Did that happen in this case?
I expect the answer to the second question is probably “yes”, so Hancock’s fate will turn on the answer to the first. If the affair predated the job, that doesn’t look good. It feeds into the “One rule for them” theme which could end up being a problem for the Government. As a regular contributor to Lockdown Sceptics put it to me in an email this morning:
It looks to me that this might be another case of one rule for you and another for me. Seems suspicious that MH’s mistress was hired as an aide going into lockdown last year, while hundreds of thousands of other people were separated from their lovers for months on end. Also note that Hancock and mistress are seen social distancing in public and embracing in private.
Stop Press: MailOnline has a good selection of Hancock memes here.
Stop Press 2: Hancock condemned Neil Ferguson for breaking lockdown rules to see his lover last year.
Stop Press 3: Roberto Coladangelo, Gina Coladangelo’s brother, is an executive at a healthcare company that has won a string of NHS contracts. Sky News has more.

Hancock.. Boris.. all of them snotty pouty shitty posh slime..
Imagine.. hiring your mistress.. conducting your affiar at work..
Not even getting into the fake tears and fake pandemic and forced vaccinations…
JOHNSON (to Hancock): We both know you’re fucking useless, but if it gets out that I’ve said so, I’ll look fucking useless. So if it ever comes to the crunch, you’ll have to resign for other reasons. Are you shagging anybody at the moment?
HANCOCK: Yes, of course
JOHNSON (smirking): Well, here’s what to do. Get photographed in a broom cupboard or something, having a grope. Do a bit of pantomime, peering round the door to check the coast is clear, that sort of thing
HANCOCK: I don’t get it
JOHNSON: Oh, for fuck’s sake, you really are fucking useless. Look, it’s better to go out shagging, bit of a rake, that sort of thing
HANCOCK: Now I understand why you’re the PM. How’s Carrie, by the way?
JOHNSON: Well, remember James Goldsmith’s famous aphorism
HANCOCK: What’s an aphorism?
JOHNSON: Oh, for fuck’s sake. “When a man marries his mistress, he creates a vacancy”
HANCOCK: I don’t get it
JOHNSON: Oh, for…….
Sorry Toby, Hancock has to go now; he made the rules – no hugging, no seeing relatives, even those dying, no personal contact whatsoever for the sick and dying.
But he and his lover can embrace, have sex, do whatever, while we’re prevented from being with our loved ones in a time of need.
And he is still in office?
Not only should he be fired, he should be prosecuted for his actions – his orders have caused untold misery to countless numbers and he breaks his own rules.
Not only is this not good enough, it’s criminal.
Resign or fired, he has to go – now; he should have been gone this morning.
He not only made the rules, he enforced the rules. Young people in particular have been persecuted – just because they have the same urges as him.
He and many others should be prosecuted for the mass vaccination programme using experimental vaccines that have been shown to be extremely dangerous.
This isn’t real. The room looks like a cheap stage set – no skirting board, unbelievably tasteless decor. The lack of any sort of sexual chemistry or flirtation might not indicate it is fake – that might just be Matt’s style. He’s a high ranking minister, surely he’d have access to much nicer venues for these sorts of assignations. To me though, this whole thing and the acres of coverage in today’s papers looks like a magician’s “make them watch this hand” trick …. Okay, so what don’t they want us looking at?
Dr Vernon Coleman – please share.

He should probably get an AIDES test before he’s allowed back to work.
LOL!
Where Hancock chooses to stick his bits is up to him BUT this slimy little weasel was encouraging people to snitch on those that weren’t ‘following the rules’ while he chose knowingly, not to follow the rules. That, of course, was in addition to all of the dodgy deals that he secured for his mates….this isn’t about an ‘affair’. He needs to be fully investigated then thrown in prison.
“dodgy deals that he secured for his mates”
And it has to be borne in mind that his floozy was a longstanding friend dating back to their university days. Did she purely coincidentally (??) get the aide job? Did she go through the normal interview process along with other candidates? Did Hancock put in a word for her? Did he give the interviewing panel (if such existed) little choice but to appoint her to the job? Without info proving otherwise, his relationship with her smacks again of evidence of the corruption which appears more and more to be emerging at every turn.

It’s definitely corrupt. And what the eff is she “advising” on in any case. How much dosh is going he way? If they want some good advice they can read the BTL comments here for free.
Matt Hancock’s moves.. in video!
Nooooooooooo.
I need brain bleach now, I wish I could unsee that.
The shocking thing is the comments from the brain dead who think he is some ‘jack the lad’ and are positively enjoying it! Fckwits!
Lots of men applauded Mark Field – the tory who physically ejected a women protester by the neck from a posh dinner.
Others, mostly male think nothing of Boris’ escapades with women. The tory party attracts that kind of male supporter and member. It’s a tory thing.
Stop over generalizing. I think you mean ‘Politics attracts that kind of male supporter and member.
I think it is more than fair to say the tory party attracts more.. more piggish greedy loose moral types…
Matt Hancock shows just how disdainful and arrogant our politicians are. They only care that the money keeps rolling in for them to waste.
His friend says he didn’t break any rules. Well he did. He broke the rules he set us. He broke the rule he made to his wife. It seems to me that the sleaze and corruption runs very deep in Westminster and all at paid by us.
We citizens need to realise that our salaries have not meaningfully increased in twenty years. We struggle to pay bills, we have no choice in our children’s schools or when we see a doctor. We can go on holiday to cheap and cheerful European resorts but do not have the money to travel properly throughout the world. We can buy a new (second hand) car and most of us can no longer afford to buy a house. We are effectively in a socialist country. Facilitated by successive governments who have mow run out of our money and have sold us to the globalists who have mismanaged the world economy so badly, they also have run out of our money.
we have lost our choice to manufacture and trade wherever… Read more »
If I may say, you forgot to mention the High Priest of Globalisation and war criminal…T Bliar (sic). If anyone can think of a more obnoxious example of this globalist cabal please nominate. The anti tax haven, anti tax avoidance hypocrite who organised the monetisation of his time in public office in such a manner to …avoid tax; he who sold his “good governance” mantra bollocks and Mrs Merton might have asked “so Tony, after several years of suffering your lowly paid career in public life, what first attracted you to advise mega oil rich ex Soviet Union states run by mega rich dictators”.
I have felt for a long time that we are heading , slowly but inexorably, towards the breakup of the established post war homogeneity in the fabric of the UK – not the place to go into that but the sentiments above hint of this IMHO; to that extent I agree with the thrust of your thoughts.
Evening Standard, 3.4.20, report on Hancock having had Covid.
“Asked if he thought that he was now immune to Covid 19” Hancock said, “It’s highly likely, but it’s not certain. And so, like everyone else who has been through it I am socially distancing, just like everybody else.”
Ha ha! Thats some social distancing! I remember reading some monyhs back Hancock said he wasn’t having the jab as he had had the virus as was therefore immune.
This country is swamped with all manner of surveillance cameras in the streets, in shops, in offices, hospitals, schools. We can’t escape them and we are told – by the likes of Hancock and the self-proclaimed libertarian shagger in chief himself – that they are there to keep us all safe. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
Now you are hoist with your own petard Mr Hancock.
Shagger in Chief is surely Bozo, Hancock is his Deputy Shagger in Chief.
Wonder if he sang Happy Birthday
Years ago, the media would have been all over this in a journalistic way, not just the sleaze, but the contracts, the rentals paid for ppe storage, the ‘quarantine hotels’, the whole lot
I am not concerned that Handycock was shagging someone at work.
What does make me angry is that he has made a weak apology, and then put in a plea for privacy for him and his family.
This is the man who has been finger wagging at the rest of us, warning us to keep apart, telling us who we can and cannot meet, and where, and when; threatening fines and the forcible closure of businesses. People have had their lives put on hold for 15 months, because of this utter wankspangle of a man. He interfered in OUR privacy, but heaven forfend that anyone interferes in his!
Meanwhile, he hires his old chum, snogs her and gropes her arse while at work…..and oh yes, didn’t her brother work for some outfit that got a lucrative NHS contract as well?
Utter hypocrisy. And that’s why he should go. Handycock, you tea towel of a man, if you had any decency, you’d resign and keep a dignified silence. But decency is too much to expect from the crew we have ruling over us.
There’s also an investigation about a contract he gave his sister, cheat doesn’t cover him
I think the Globalists are rebranding. Johnson knows he cannot get rid of Hancock because he will be the next to go. Fauci is going in USA. Biden and Harris will not be far behind. The Globalists are panicking. Their first scalp was Bill Gates. They are bringing in Tony Blair. If we don’t start upping the stakes and creating real destabilisation of this government we will not get to the very few Globalists who want socialism to continue in order their wealth remains in tact.
He’s a PPE Tory. He can’t spell the word decency let alone understand what it means. Bottom dwelling pondlife has more moral fibre
Corrupt, amoral, licentious cretins, the lot of them. I wouldn’t hire a single one of them to empty dustbins, never mind run a country, but we are paying them vast amounts of our hard earned taxpayers money. Oh to be able to sack the lot of them.
These people have no shame and no dignity. Even if Hancock goes another shameless cockroach will take over.
I watched as some 4000 comments were deleted in one go on The Daily Telegraph last night… all of the angriest ones.
I also notice The Daily Telegates.. The Daily Borisograph tried to defend its Pig Dictator and use words like office kiss, embrace, clinch. They use the less saucy of the video frames i.e. the ones where his hand isn’t on her arse.
Alison Pearson and others were allowed to be angry.. they implored their former colleage/hack to sack Hancock. He’s a libertarian dontcha know. He isn’t. He never was. He’s exactly what Max Hastings said he is. He and his father and Carrie (who rule through Boris) are dangerous.
It wasn’t an embrace. He was fucking her. She was previously known to him. A buddy. Rumour has it he was bonking her before he hired her. His mistress.
Hands Face Cock Tits Fanny
Yeah, a quick peck on the cheek, Hancockup?!!

I reckon Hastings assessment is spot on, yet so many people were completely taken in by him.
Laurence Fox
Great video! A must watch
Indeed – yet again Lozza nails it.
Yes…impressive
Look at my petulent little toff lips..
I did PPE at Oxford. That’s like General Studies for poshos.
I was fucking that aide on and off for two decades.. haw haw haw haw
So, let me get this right. There is a bunch of folk in “the government” who went to the same university, plus their relatives, who are profiting massively from all the dosh being hosed from the taxpayer into their pharma supply companies and thence to their pockets. Meantime the bloke who has kept families apart and terrorized the population is caught snogging the hired help. You couldn’t make it up, it’s so brazen. Seems like the building isn’t terribly secure either.
What I really want to know is who put the camera in the ceiling, because I want to buy him a beer.

A brilliant example of Behavioural Science smoke and mirrors in action. Get the debate taken away from the medication of our children, the destruction of the economy, the lies of COVID and many other topics that are having light shone upon them. The wider public needs to be distracted with sparkly things and can NEVER be allowed to delve too deeply into the important issues of our times. Chuck them a tidbit and laugh!
Are you high? This is a win for us. Governments have unravelled over less. Grab some popcorn and sit back.
I do hope you’re right! There has already been such a lot that could have caused the “unraveling “ but didn’t.
Good old sex scandal. It’s timed nicely for the protest today also.
I sense a win for us. May be a small one or a big one. Not sure yet. But I sense reason to be optimistic. The wheels are coming off their wagon.
maybe debra has a point? no?
Just to make it clear.. to avoid that Ferguson moment…
He hired his mistress on £1000 per day. So he could have his cake and eat her too.
Where are the letters to useless Brady? We neither have a legitimate government or an opposition. We have a filthy twisted Davos Gates coup with sleazy ministers.
Hancock is a turd. And like all turds he must be flushed down the toilet for sanitary reasons.
She must be hard up.
Desperate is the word I thought of!
She is raking in a lot of money just for letting the odious creep fondle her arse.
People commenting on LDS should no longer refer to him as Wancock. Handycock should be used from now on.
This story should be top of the site and is manna to lockdown sceptics. The hypocrisy involved at least should tell every fearful fuckwit in this country that they have been taken for a ride.
Hancock is a dim-witted cunt of the highest order. The lives of many people have been ruined by the lies and bullshit of this prick. Sack him straight away. Then charge him with offences against humanity and jail the tool.
This, more than every story and data-driven evidence is providing the public with concrete proof of the bullshit of the “political” and agenda-driven science we’ve been subjected to. The fact that this story ranks low down and involves scrolling on the main page of the website should be a source of shame to Toby Young and others behind the otherwise good work of LS.
It’s basically akin to an AIDS czar lecturing and criminalising the public on their sexual and other habits being caught with his unsheathed dick up another man’s arse with a dirty needle hanging out of his arm. Shame on Hancock and shame on all of those supporting this government of imbeciles.
That just about sums it up nicely 🙂
Bozo can’t sack him given his own behaviour. However, in the unlikely event he was sacked Bozo has the problem of keeping him quiet – Wancock knows too much.
I suppose Bozo could tidy this mess up with a David Kelly solution but it might arouse suspicious. Chances are some other story will be manufactured by way of cover and in the expectation this will blow over.
By the standards of today’s “elite” Handicock has behaved entirely respectably.
Evil does not have a conscience.
Too good for Wancock; Dr Kelly was , by all accounts that I have read, a very honourable man and there the similarity hits the buffers. No inquest and public records barred for 100 years – surely MH is not worth the cost of that cover up?
Be careful what you wish for. Nadine Dorries for Health Secretary? Possible the only person dimmer than the current incumbent!
