Rejected petition Matt Hancock should be fired from his role as Health Secretary

Matt Hancock should be fired from his role as Secretary of State for Health of the United Kingdom after his blatant disregard of the Coronavirus social distancing rules

More details

What is the point of the people adhering to social distancing rules and having imposed fines to the people for breaching such rules when the persons in charge and making the rules can so blatantly disregard these rules. It makes a complete mockery of the system. Matt Hancock should be punished for his actions and the only way to do this is to fire Matt Hancock from his current role.
