Rejected petition Matt Hancock should resign.
Rejected on
It has been proved that Matt Hancock has lied time and time again.
Matt Hancock said that. 'An invisible shield has put round care homes. ' You speak to anyone in a care home and they say it's not true. Matt Hancock has clearly shown time and time again. I don't usually call for a resignation of a Government minister. But hearing that around 16,000 people have died in care homes is tragic. The UK has the highest death toll. Highest excess deaths in Europe. This is clearly not good enough and he should resign asap.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about honours or appointments.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for Ministers to be sacked, resign or for a vote of no confidence.
If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could start a petition about that.
