Labour Party Chair Anneliese Dodds says that Prime Minister Boris Johnson ‘must remove the Health Secretary from his post’ after Matt Hancock admitted to breaking social distancing guidelines while allegedly engaging in an affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo.
Pictures of the Health Secretary and Ms Coladangelo in an embrace in a corridor outside his Whitehall office appeared in The Sun.
Dodds said: “His position is hopelessly untenable. Boris Johnson should sack him.”
However, Boris Johnson is said to have accepted Hancock’s apology and said ‘the matter is closed’.
